I'm moving

The reason i have not posted anything lately.
I am moving For those whom are on facebook i have not posted this on there B/c i am hiding it from my inlaws. But, was offered 2 jobs 140 mi south of Jonesboro Arkansas and all this week i been packing.

As long as you're happy with it! Who knows, there may be more places to mud too
Wish you all the best man!

Congrats on the job, in these times you need to do what is best for yourself and your family. My in-laws are already pissed at me because I told them that when I graduate from college I move out of the area if I have to for a job. They didn't take it to well, neither did my parents. But my family comes first and if they cant understand it then its their problem.

Good luck on the move and new job, we'll be here when you get settled.

Thanks guys. The hardest thing about moving is my daughters softball team. she has great coaches that really care about all the girls on the team. ( that is really rare these days.) and her teamates are really close. It hurts me to take her away from that. But in the 2 years i been here in Jonesboro i have not found any work and if i came close my inlaws would go out of their way to sabotage it. ( the reason we are hiding this ) I survived those 2 years by doing odd jobs and temp jobs. It would be nice to have a steady paycheck again.
here lately i been having mixed feelings about moving. 1 is I hate packing 2 I want to stay in 1 place for good. I had told my wife this is the last time we are moving ever.

Yeah moving dows suck. Its the past 4 years before this house, we moved about 4 or 5 times. Wasnt great. Luckily we've been here for about 1 and a half years now and settled in for good.

Work is hard to get these days though, hopefully I wont have to go too far afield once Im done with Uni.

Yeah i hate moving as well - i moved a couple times up north, then moved down here and moved again to our current place now - im STILL dragging stuff from the folks house down....

Not to mention packing and moving my 'collections' is a serious pain.

Not to mention packing and moving my 'collections' is a serious pain.

Oh i know! I have a huge collection of model trains 1-24 scale model cars, My entire VW collection ,and hotwheels packed.
and i know when i go to unpack them something will be broke.

When we moved from the place we rented to here- heck took 3 trips for my model/diecasts alone - only had 8 lawntractors then , so took like another 4 trips hauling those over.

Congrats on the job man! It's too bad that your family is so against it. It's respectable that you would want to find steady work to support your family. I don't know why they wouldn't see that.

But yeah, I hate moving too! Are you renting or buying?

Right now i am looking foe a camper for the f-150 most likely i will be living in the truck. well for at least a month or 2 my wife will be staying behind to finish her job and my daughter still has softball season to finish. I am gonna try to live on the cheap To save money.
This is what i am looking for.

That camper looks cool. How much would a decent one of those set you back?

I had put an ad on craigslist. we will see what happens.

Sounds awful, i've never moved myself but i hate packing for holidays or round trips down to my cousins, been settled good! no wonder my dad built this house and isn't moving out! ach well i like it here anyway (could have better places to mud though)

wish you luck mate!

Thanks guys. My wife finally talked me into staying at a motel. she is afraid some psycho might slash my throat sleeping in the truck.

lol, set up a trip wire hooked to a shotgun and say the guy killed himself

I dont know what you have for camping places up there- but state parks and camping areas are pretty cheep, plus have utilities - we're going camping for a few days next week- its right up the street, $26 a nite , has electric and potable water with bathrooms and showers - plus people are freindly there and its secure area.

Something to consider.

lol if mcsteele come lives next to you you should get a picture!

haha, definatly. Mudders of the world unite

Funny you you said that. I am staying at Americas best inns and suites in Conway Arkansas. The supervisor is a former employer of me and my wife and is a good friend of ours.
which frees up the f-150's bed for yeah you guessed it The Murrat. There will be a vid up late tonight or early in the morning on what is in the truck bed.

Oh yeah i gave away the trike. But, i kept both seats and one including both armrests are on the Murrat.

I turned down the job at wal-mart, But took another job at autozone that is closer to Conway Arkansas ( Where i am moving) also Autozone is paying $2.50 more an hr than Wal-mart. So I bought myself More time to things buttoned up here in Jonesboro. The other way my wife would had been stuck moving Boxes and furniture and all of our appliances herself. This way i can oversee the whole operation.

Glad to hear it man! Sounds like a win win situation. Glad its starting to look better for you! Ive got myself a job too now. Starting tomorrow, sucks that I have to work weekends but its money I need!

Good deal - i dont like wally world - from things ive herd and seen shopping there , id never work there. I applied once, even with retail experience from a competitor - never herd anything back.

Wal-mart is not a job its a cult. The last time i worked there they threatened me with my job if i did not learn the Wal-mart cheer! I told them i aint a cheerleader and my religion prohibits me from doing that. They were not impressed.
How does learning a cheer help me with changing oil and tires.

Not to mention customer service is non existant - theyre all rude as hell . One time my wife n i were shopping there ( one of our last times in there around a year ago) and another customer came up to me and asked where the silverware might be , because she couldnt find anyone to help her - so i helped her look for it.

Its funny- usually in stores with high shelves , people will ask me to help them with something on the top shelf ( im 6' tall) - heck even had workers in some ask me.

Amen! screw wal-mart! I've tried to return things there, unopened with a receipt, and they still wouldn't accept it. It even says walmart on the box! They told me because the items were purchased online, I couldn't return them in store..... WTF? This happened to me 3 times in the past year. So now I shop at Target!

I'd say it was a good move going to Autozone, even if it were LESS money, I'd rater work there! At least people won't hate you.
