The Inside Edition

For everybody that has asked for a tour of the RV, this is for you. I apologize in advance for my awkward emceeing.

This past week has been both exciting and stressful. I picked up the truck on Wednesday, had the hitch installed Friday morning and picked up the trailer in Houston on Friday afternoon. Just in time to catch rush hour traffic. Talk about a good initiation for hauling a 42' monster! In all honesty though, the truck's setup and the trailer's lighter construction made towing it pretty seamless, and I felt very comfortable with it.

After parking in our church parking lot overnight, I moved it to it's first official parking spot, a little RV park just north of Conroe. It was my first time setting up on my own, so Molly graciously kept the kids away until I was finished. I have to say, this also went without a...hitch (well, there was a hitch, but...okay, I know, terrible pun). But seriously, actually parking the trailer was a breeze. We had a pull-through spot, the pad was relatively level and called for minimal adjustments, and all the slide-outs and hook-ups performed as expected.

After church on Sunday, we had several visitors come by who couldn't wait any longer to tour our new house. Having thirteen people in here at one time made me realize that even though it will sleep nine, we probably won't attempt that very often. After everyone left, we made a couple of trips hauling stuff over to the RV from the house, then settled down for our first night staying here!

In keeping with how things have been going lately, we were awakened extremely early with one very sick little girl. Then a storm moved in, bringing with it tornado warnings and rain all day. That kind of shot some of our moving plans in the foot, but we were still able to bring over quite a bit to furnish the trailer. So, in spite of all of that, today ended up just fine because our new little "house" is starting to feel more like home.
