Let me rewind a few months though and go back to the beginning of all of this. We refinanced recently. And, at the same time, since hubby travels so much for work, it's kind of typical for him to trade his vehicles in every so often for something that runs well and of course is reliable. We had all that in our sweet Jeep Grand Cherokee, but she was creeping up on 100k miles, and that meant it was time to trade her in before she wasn't worth anything anymore...
We knew someday Kevin would get back into a truck again. He's a truck guy, and loves to fish which means he needs a big truck to tow his boat with... but all of that came to a halt about 5 years ago when we bought this house (right straight before the economy crashed) thinking we'd live here for 2 or 3 years, fix the place up and put it back on the market... years have since come and gone, and we've taken our hits and counted our blessings, and made sacrifices
So we refinanced. And then we got This.
The damn thing barely fits in the driveway, I had a funny feeling that might happen, but as long as it fits, then it fits. And I'm pretty excited for hubby to get the boat back out on the water again someday soon too... Since it's been sitting for a while, we have some work to do, to get it back in order again, but it shouldn't be much, only time will tell. I can't wait to take a picture of us towing that baby down the road all polished up and ready to float. The boat was Kevin's dad's boat, and between the two of them, they've put a lot of work into making it something special. It has a cabin down below, with a little kitchen and bath, custom woodwork, flooring, upholstery, and let's not forget the sound system, because when you're out in this thing it's more like camping than fishing, and who doesn't love music when you're just chilin' on the lake right? :)It's so funny. This is something that we used to love to do, but set it aside for so long that it almost feels new again. Rain rain go away, I am ready to go out and play!!
