Our New ... Camper!

What is the quickest way to put off getting that new sunroom you've been dreaming of, that third child that you are pretty sure you'd like to have, a storage barn for your new home, an MBA, a redecorated bedroom and bathroom and a Caribbean vacation ... SURVEY SAYS: Buy a brand new camper!!!!! That's just what we did on Saturday at the Boat, Sport and Travel show. We've been attending this show faithfully for 7 years, and every year we contemplate purchasing a camper. We had been thinking pop up, but the deals on this 26 footer were AWESOME! The dealer also sold out of the '08 model that is pictured and is what we were pricing so they upgraded us to the '09 model at the price of the '08! We will not get to take her home for a few weeks as they had to order it in! I've never had anything on wheels that had to be ordered in! EEEK!

Now - we know that the economy isn't at the best these days. We also know that we are going to have to cut out on eating out so often, buying scrapbooking supplies that may not truly be needed, and my wardrobe my grow a bit stale in the next few months/years, but we felt like it is worth the "sacrifices" due to the joy that we know it will bring our little guys. They are so excited about it. We just had a family dinner talking about the last camping trip we had and how many more we can enjoy together. Alvin better have his boat on standby, because it was mentioned by Aiden and Logan at least 10 times.

So - be prepared for lots of outdoorsy pics this summer. And not to mention the pics of when we actually get to go pick it up. We are really excited about this investment at this time in our lives. I never thought I would say that about a camper!!!
