It has been a pretty mellow few days here. I'm enjoying the new hotel, but still missing home!
We finally received some word from Mr. D's old boss. He sent an email that simply stated..
"I am just getting back in town after 3 days out and will be in next week most of the week and hope I can get you some info in return on a position- many thanks ---"
So i'm keeping my fingers crossed that we will get good news next week! Mr. D and I have been discussing whether or not we should try to keep traveling for one more month, just to add a little more into our savings before the dreaded "decrease in income". I have to honest though, i'm not sure i can handle one more month! That is 4 weeks! The summer will be reaching an end by then! :( ... I suppose i can do it if i have to, but i would much prefer to spend the upcoming days in good ole' Mtown! (Memphis)
We have been debating taking a vacation for quite some time now. We usually try to take one every year. This years options were:
*Disney World with the family (but honestly i felt like going to DW in my "Childless State" would be like mental suicide!)
*The Bahamas for a romantic getaway (our wallet quickly decided that was not an option) or *Gatlinburg Tennessee for a little less expensive romantic getaway. (still going to cost anywhere from $1300-2000)
The Gatlinburg trip was affordable and sounded wonderful, but i can't help but think to myself what all i could buy for $1300! ... We still need to buy a new trailer for our jetskis, build a fence in our backyard, Mr. D wants to build a deck in the backyard, we need a new bedroom suite..and the list goes on and on.
So Gatlinburg Vacation is still up for debate...
What would you do? Go and enjoy yourself, or Spend the money more wisely on household items? Oh and just to make the decision a little harder, here is a pic of the Cabin i was looking into booking. (Yes that is a private hot tub looking over the gorgeous mountains!)
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!!

We did a family vacation in the mountains last summer and we loved it! I say go for it! But maybe you don't have to go away for as long, so you can cut back on the cost? I also found as we were researching cabins (and I spent forever doing that!) that there are smaller companies with nice cabins that are significantly cheaper than what the big name companies offer. They may not be quite as fancy, but they're still pretty nice. Let me know if you pursue this trip and want to know more about the cheaper cabin company. :)
