Last night

Last night Lacey and I drove down to York to deposit my paycheck and pick up a few things at Wal-Mart. As I got out of the car I noticed a beautiful Class A RV (the kind that looks like a bus with a diesel in the back) parked down towards the end of the lot.

The juxtaposition of that and what Lacey and I were doing made me stop in my tracks.

We were going to Wal-Mart.

We have gone to Wal-Mart many, many times.

We will go to Wal-Mart many, many more times.

I've wanted to own an RV and live in it at least part time for so long - I very much desire the freedom to travel anywhere and be home at the same time. To wake up and have a different view from your window EVERY DAY . . . this I crave.

As we walked into the store I mentioned this to Lacey. She wasn't sure if I meant I didn't want the typical dog, white picket fence and 2.3 kids by lusting after the RV - but I told her I still do want the whole 30 year mortgage and an SUV lifestyle...just with a giant RV parked in the driveway.

Anyone who has been around me for more than five minutes will know that I do not do well with routine. Doing the same thing every day feels like a waste of life - I need variety and spontaneity. With the life that Lacey and I have chosen for ourselves, an RV is pretty much the only way I can do that (unless we move to San Diego and buy a live-aboard sailboat...hmm...)

So yeah, just some random obsession for you guys on this beautiful Wednesday morning.
