Can I just say parking in a RV park for the first time, at midnight, with a 37ft trailer is NOT fun. Luckily this one was a pull through so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Oh, by the way, Virgin Mobile doesn’t work in like the whole state of ND it seems. This brought on a whole slue of problems! Brian passed his welding test so we officially had a job in Buella, about an hour away. We spent the whole next day trying to get a new phone carrier, which we decided on AT&T prepaid, however we needed cell service to deposit a $8k check we got in the mail right before we left, but couldn’t get phones with out any money. We finally got it all figured out. The next morning we had $12 in our bank since our tax return came through also. This again was God telling us to lean on Him since we were supposed to leave that morning to go to Buella but would have no money for gas to get there. Even if we didn’t get the check thing figured out God still had a plan to have money in our bank.
We drove to Buella, and again parked in the dark but this time is was essecentally like trying to back down an ally and park in someone’s yard. It caused a bit of tension since I’m still trying to figure out how to direct Brian. He managed to do it without my help. Brian found out that his job was an hour drive so we pack up that night when he got home from his first day of work and drove to Washburn which is only a 10min drive for Brian. This time it wasn’t dark when we parked but I again still don’t know what I’m doing and Brian got frustrated with me again. I need to work on my communication! We got it parked but would have to move it to another spot the next night since this one was a 30amp service and the new spot was a 50amp, which just means more electricity and stuff (like the space heaters) work better. Yes, I said space heaters cause even though the days were getting up in the 70s the nights were still freezing (literally)!
Its not so bad here except for its like population 100 and they only have a grocery store and a Family Dollar. I did find a walmart and some decent civilization about 30-40 min away. I got groceries and did 2weeks worth of laundry at a laundry mat with both kids by myself in the drizzly sleety rain… which basically means I’m wonder woman! I won’t be doing that again though!
