Memorial Day is the official kick off for summer, or so the saying goes. I know for us, it means opening up or camper, that has sat all winter long. It’s also the weekend we got married. 24 Years and going strong, but back to the camper.<\/p>\n
This year Doug went on Saturday to open the old trailer up, and much to his surprise, it was musty smelling, but all was intact. By the time he opened it and aired it out, it was ready for my arrival after work. This was very strange for me. I’m use to opening her up and organizing our belongings. However, by the time I arrived after work, it was all done. Nice, but not so nice.<\/p>\n
I’m sure your asking why I say that. But it’s simple really. I am so use to our routine, I felt disorganized and unsure of what to do with myself. I didn’t bring anything extra, like my hobbies and such, so I just plopped myself down on the couch.<\/p>\n
For the first time this year, I truly enjoyed the camper. I mean really liked it! This was the first time, Doug didn’t have to work, or study, he just enjoyed his free time. We even played a couple of rounds of Mexican Train. It was a little strange to be there without our children, but we had our nephew Luke, and his mom join us.<\/p>\n
Jamie and Luke have never been to our trailer, and it was so nice to have them there. We drank wine, met and had dinner with old neighbors and truly just relaxed. Okay, maybe there was a little tense moment trying to make a graduation party two hours away from our trailer, and then getting back in time to have dinner with our friends, but over all very nice.<\/p>\n
So before we left, we organized and set up a few things and are preparing to go back and spring\/summer clean, so we can enjoy the rest of our time. It may be tricky with Internship starting, but I can go out there, on my own or bring a friend whatever it takes. We have a great place, I can bring food from home and not cost more than gas. Which yes is not cheap, but cheaper than flying. Plus it certainly better than not going anywhere.<\/p>\n
So bring on the Summer, Bring on the Sun, Bring on internship! Life is good all the time, we just have to look at the positives rather than the negatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
