Life is Good...Over all...

Yes...that fork I came back to and changed directions on looks like a beautiful sunrise ahead...

...I do have the position I came up and applied for here in Oregon .(okay...there is the minor detail of pay plan...but I am not worried about that..this is a company with integrity) I feel very good with the way everything has progressed and with the people I have met!

In the meantime - Ron & I are enjoying some time together in the motor home (with the two dogs - of course!). We will be heading up to Salem so I can enjoy my first larger rally with nearly 500 rigs...all of them being from the Monaco manufactured family. (Many of you know how much Ron hates crowds - so this is a big sacrifice on his part - just so I can get the feel for one of these things!)

I can tell you that I am looking forward to getting back to work at what I love doing...but I could get very used to just lounging around in the coach and not really having to leave if I didn't want to!!

The Fork in the Road...


Some times in our lives we find a “fork in the road” that we must decide which road to take. You may take the wrong road…but the real secret is to learn early down that journey if you have taken the wrong road and if you have…to have the courage to turn back and try another road.

I have found that I may have taken that wrong road. Luckily I have decided that this is the wrong road early while on this journey. I have decided to turn around and take one of the other roads at that fork.

I will be leaving my job by the end of this week and taking a major leap of faith on my own abilities and salesmanship of myself. You see, I have no job lined up AND I will be trying to get that job in not only a different area – but a different state!

You see, twelve years ago we bought a piece of property in Oregon with plans of moving there in 5 years. Obviously, that did not happen – due to a major automobile accident. Well, my dear husband saw how unhappy I was in my current situation and told me maybe now was the time for me to go to Oregon and start working there while he would stay here to complete the items on our home that needs to be done before we put it on the market.

A week from today we will be heading to Oregon with the motor home. I have tentatively set up a job interview for the following day. The job opening will actually not be vacant before October 1 - if it is available at all…but we are okay with that because we will attend the Monaco RV rally while in Oregon.

I am quite excited about finally moving to Oregon – but saddened that I will not have my husband or my two Min Pins with me every day…although they will be up often!

Wish me luck as I head down this new road!
