I Live In My Own Little World, But It's OK... They Know Me Here.

I know you've all been anxiously awaiting my next post... ok, well maybe not.

Either way, here it is folks! On February 3rd, I was finally able to drive up to Fayetteville, Tennessee to pick up my beautiful, 18 feet long, 7 feet wide, bundle of joy. 

Here he is, my new "baby."

I really can't describe the feeling I had when I stepped foot onto this trailer. You look at it and see a trailer. I stood on it, and I saw my kitchen rise up before my eyes. I saw myself awkwardly leaning over the edge of the roof in an extremely unsafe fashion, while installing the sky light that is letting beautiful sunshine come in and fill my home with the type of warmth that only the sun can provide... I saw my little, elderly, beagle curled up on the floor, letting that warmth soak into her bones. I saw maps scattered around on any flat surface, containing the roads to the many destinations this home and I will reach. Now, today... when all you can see is that treated lumber decking and the freshly painted wheel wells... please try to picture a home. It will be a home where I can always retreat to. A home that will follow me across this country. A home that fits my personal beliefs, aspirations, and goals.

You can say a home is where your heart is... but I don't leave my heart anywhere.

My home, will be wherever I am.

"Never make a home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way, it will go with you wherever you journey."
