My New Townhouse

So with Elfa sale coming up I have been toying with the idea of hiring another installer for I've kept my helper busy since January and the Winter sale was just over bearing and caught me by surprise. I thought about Buddy, so I asked and since he has his two precious girls up there he declined. I guess I'll keep trying to get him to atleast come and visit. I had Jordan come help me for a week which was nice to see such a old good friend. And I kept talking to Jen and Ray about helping with the installs down here since they were not enjoying where they were working now. They were also in the process of finding another place to move to in Sutherlin as well, so I figured now would be the best time to fully ask if they wanted to come down. So After word I got approved for the house I applied for they put their two week notice into their work and started making plans on coming down here. So on June 5th they should be in bright sunny California. I am very excited. With 3 other stores down here I'm hoping to snag a 2nd store to do the installs for and with Ray down here it will make the chances so much higher.
Erica was going to join us as well but sadly she decided it was best to stay behind and move in with two of our other friends. She'll atleast come down to visit for 2 weeks while she helps us move into our new place. I guess we will turn the room she was going to get into a game/movie/guest room. Maybe while she's down here for 2 weeks we can convince her that California is way better!

So I am approved for the townhouse I applied for. I couldn't think of any other place that was more perfect. the bottom floor is all garage. I can finally clear out one of my 10x20 storage units, and be able to just go home instead of making special trips to unload or load up Elfa product.  Here's a description of the townhouse:


San Rafael, Peacock Gap-The 3 bedroom, 3 full baths townhouse, is part of a small community of privately owned town homes, and is in excellent condition. This property is close to beautiful Mc Nears State Park & Beach, and the Peacock Gap Golf Course. There is a lovely private patio, with a gate that leads to the gorgeous pool and lovely grounds surrounding you. The living room has a fireplace, a wet bar, and an entire wall of windows, creating a very light and airy surrounding. The kitchen has hardwood floors, a newer stove and microwave. There are several decks, including one off of the master bedroom. There is even a laundry chute, and plenty of storage space with generous sized closets and storage, as well in the extra deep, L shaped garage. The laundry area in the garage also includes a sink, for convenience. In addition to tandem 2 car parking in the garage

Life

Sometimes or should I say most times I feel like a up most failure in life. I feel like I am meant for so much more but haven't received that break or that opportunity.

I've spent 6 months in Roseburg, my hometown after leaving the construction business. With the construction field going further and further downhill I decided to go back to school and figure out what I want to do with my life. It just feels like I'm taking a step backwards everyday.

I spent 6 years in the Air Force doing construction and well I messed up my back and my knees and got booted out. after about a year and a half doing mediocre jobs I opted to start a construction business with my brother and best friend. long story short things got really slow and my brother went into the Air Force and we closed the business after 2 years.

Now I moved back to Roseburg (The Black hole) to save some money and be able to get back on my feet. I figured I'd use the GI BIll to pay for college and help pay for expenses like housing and food. I'm living with my grandfather helping him out after my grandmother passed away. I have been helping him out with doing work around the house and helping other family members out as well. Though I am not working I consider what I do pretty time consuming if you include the 5 classes I am taking. Thought I made a comment to a person after they asked me what I am going after in college. Jokingly I told them that I make more money going to college and I am going to be a professional student for 4 years. Yes this is true, I do make more money going to college than being a contractor. Thankfully I have paid off some of the 10k of business debt.

I just feel like I am in this huge hole I can not get out of. This never ending battle to stay ahead and I do feel like I am going no where in life. I wished I didn't feel as though I was running in place. I work my ass off and I have not gone anywhere.
