Big News, Big Changes

I realize it has been a couple months since I updated this. I haven't been intentionally neglecting things, it's just that we're in a huge state of limbo and it has been hard to know what or when to update things.

We do have a few pieces of big news, one good, and one bittersweet.

First, the bittersweet. We have decided to put Homer up for sale.

At this point, it looks like full-timing--if we even do it--is another two years away. Homer is too big for short jaunts. Steve would still need his Non-Commercial Class A, plus there are only two state parks in all of California that will fit him (Homer, that is, not Steve). Right now Homer is just sitting in storage, waiting to be used.

Although it would be the perfect trailer for full-timing, it's just not practical now, and without knowing what the future holds, it doesn't make sense to keep him.

If you or your friends are interested in a ginormous but very, very cool fifth wheel in practically-brand-new condition, you can check our ad here: http://www.rvsearch.com/findrv/index.cfm/a-d/tc-36286/vid-614805/

If we can't sell him, we might trade him in for something smaller that we can use now. We'd take a big financial hit on that, but it might be better than making payments plus insurance and storage fees on something we can't even use.

We are very sad to see Homer possibly leaving our family, but we are also excited to announce that we will have a new addition coming to our family this September in the form of our third child! Believe it or not, that development actually has little bearing on the Homer situation, although it probably is better to be grounded in one place for the time being.

So, for now, we're stuck indefinitely in Southern California. Although this isn't exactly what we wanted, we realize our situation could be much worse, and we're grateful to have what we do.

I will continue to post updates about Homer. And seriously, if you know people who want a full-timing 5er, pass on the info.
