We still are, it was just a statement Jamie came out with when she was suggesting a road trip across America that would involve seeing her brothers on the way to her Moms house to see her, I have to say a road trip is something I would jump at in the right weather and the right vehicle obviously! It was a great way to see a bit more of America when Pam & Cliff came to pick us from Chicago a few years ago and would be a great way to see a bit more of America and meet more of her family so I said yeh I would be up for it.

I think we will be going ‘home’ this year because of Jamie’s new job and I think she needs to because it’s been a while since she has seen her Mom, they do speak most days on video chat but there is no substitute to in the flesh. I also think it helps Jamie if she is planning it too because that is the start of looking forward to it also, sort of the first part of the trip.

We are not rich but we can both tell that it is a little bit easier in the pocket already since Jamie has been associated with LWC and that a regular stream of work has been made available but from yesterday she will get the money as a regular wage so hopefully a few months of that should get us closer to not be poor anymore!
