We are getting much closer to living our dream. Truck got serviced today and 4 new tires on back. Hitch gets installed on Tuesday. Wednesday DW and I take a trip to Oklahome to pick up our new home.
Sweet. Our maiden voyage will be bringing our new home back to Corpus Christi.
Isn't if funny how one gets so giddy just before the beginning of a new dream coming true? Jo and I have been married for about 42 1/2 years and we've experienced many of them.
Because it promises such great opportunities, our dream home sits in our back yard. For now. Once our retirement comes around, we will be blessed with the beauty that this country offers, the camaraderie of fellow travelers, and the blessings provided by God to our senses.
May it be that your lives and future are full of beauty and blessings.

RacerGuy - Is there a Dodge/Cedar Creek Fan club? If not, maybe we should start one.
Good call Melanie. I have had such a peace about this deal. Cedar Creek is the 1st fifth wheel we looked at several years ago. Between that unit and a Montana, we just could not make a decision. The day before we were leaving for Houston to look at a Montana, it was under contract. The Cedar Creek is 2 years newer and in my opinion, a better deal. Finally got my truck on Friday and it keeps telling me, "Load me up."
Looking forward to meeting our RV-Dreams family on the road soon.

So exciting when one of our family 'graduates' to full time! Can't wait to follow your progress, as we will be there ourselves in a year or so.

Carol/Johnny Maiden voyage is our trip from OK to Corpus Christi. Not really an outing of any kind but with 603 miles to travel, we will be stopping at least once or maybe twice. My DW just made reservations at Goliad State Park for Memorial weekend. That will be our first weekend out. Our full time travels will begin in the spring of 2012 as we head towards Tennessee.
We are looking forward to meeting our new extended family. After spending what seems like a long time praying, planning, and intense discussing our dream is about to become reality. The support and encouragement we have experienced through RV-Dreams Forum have carried us to this point. Words cannot express how grateful we are for Howard and Linda for hosting this site. They may never fully know the number of people they have touched.
Thank you all.

We made the trip to Elk City, OK. Alicia and Rolling Retreats are the real deal. Our new home is more than we expected. We are blessed beyond measure. Thursday we begin our maiden journey back to Corpus Christi.

Jerry and Carol,
Congratulations on the new home. And, I agree with Alicia and Slade being the real deal. We met them a couple of years ago and were impressed with them. I've certainly felt comfortable with recommending that folks check them out.
Did you check out that 40 foot Mobile Suites while you were there? That would be a nice unit for families wanting a second bedroom.
Safe travels and may God continue to bless you. I don't know how familiar you are with rigs the size of the Dodge and Cedar Creek, but just take things easy and be observant. You should really do fine.

Jerry and Carol,
I looked at that one myself. We really liked the floor plan on the Cedar Creek. If it looked like my house might sell soon I would have looked a little closer. Enjoy your new home and one of these days we will see you on the road.
