We're ready to hit the road again

I think I have had my fill of Texas. I tried to look at the area with serious intentions of moving here, but having been here for a couple of months now I realize that it's not what I had hoped at all. There's just not enough going for this place to offset the really bad points. Now that we've also had some time to look at property (both with and without housing) we've basically discovered that - just like everywhere else in the US right now - there's nothing worth what they're currently asking.

With that in mind, Becky and I have decided to just wait it out. There's no decent land to be had that we can afford, so we're going to postpone looking for any until prices fall into our budget. Then we'll go after exactly what we want and buy it outright instead of settling on something less valuable that and paying on for for the next 30 years. I can't wait for the housing market to tank...

We're going to stay mobile for the next few years. As long as there are grocery stores and Wal-Marts across the US where we can get whatever the heck we need at any time, there's no reason for us to stay put. This may be the last few years where we can afford to travel with the way gas prices are going. Already prices have gone up over 70 cents a gallon since we arrived here about 2 months ago. Our travel plans pretty much revolve around the price of gasoline, so we'll see what the future brings.
