I finally get it installed and the RV dealer calls me and asks if I can pick it up tomorrow morning!!! I can’t believe it! So after some quick thinking and head-butting, CM and I have decided to charge the balance of the RV. I know, I know, I think it’s a terrible idea too, but we gotta move forward.

Luckily we still have a few other high dollar items that we can sell and hopefully we can pay off those cards quickly. So I guess it’s official, tomorrow we’ll be RV owners. My heart is saying “Yea!!” but my brain is saying, “Noooooooo!” What have we gotten ourselves into?

Wisdom of the Day: “In life, be flexible.”

Hopefully we will pick it up this Wednesday, or no later than Friday!!! AAAAGGGHHHH!! We’re doing this! We’re really doing this! I mean, I know I came up with this financial plan and I know that I am the Chief Financial Officer, but I think I never really thought we’d be able to come up with the money.

Like they say: Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

I never finished it, but I see it on the book shelf from time to time and I think about reading.

I’ve been thinking about fear a lot lately. We just watched “Apocalypto” the other night and a major theme was not letting fear control you. That being said, I am FREAKING OUT about the big move! Some guy came and took away my computer monitors this morning, so I feel like there’s no turning back at this point. I mean, why stay at the apartment if I don’t have my computer?? But what am I going to do in an RV without it??

I’m just going to put it all of my fears out there:
– I’m scared of being robbed
– I’m scared that someone’s going to break a window in order to rob me
– I’m scared of being bored out of my mind
– I’m scared that I am going to be too scared to leave the RV unattended
– I’m scared that gas is going to hit $10 a gallon before I get to take my kids to all of the places I want them to see.
– I’m scared that if someone (*looking at CM*) goes #2 then it’s going to spread throughout the RV and we won’t be able to get the smell out!

Okay, the first and last ones are my biggest fears, but I can’t let that control me. I really want to do something different with my life while I’m young enough to bounce back if it doesn’t work out.

I’ve got to feel the fear and do it anyway….
