So I received a few PM's about me not being around much.. I apologize. Things are getting crazy around here. The last few weeks things have been going downhill at my job. Last week, my regional manager decided to start an altercation with me, so I quit. Well, just so happens the following day my mom was leaving for South Carolina for a job interview.
We just got back from being in South Carolina/Georgia area for five days. My moms a business teacher and she found a position down there and they said they were interested in interviewing her. If you know anything about teachers theres about 0 jobs in the country for them right now.
Well, she got the job. Right now my moms on and off the phone gathering about 50 or so things that the state of South Carolina requires for her to get certified as a teacher there.
This Friday we are leaving, going back down there (pending she gets her certification or everything she needs to do so). We will be living in the Savannah, GA area for the next 5 months or so until the school year ends.. We aren't moving down there *yet*, and my mom and I will be living in our RV in Georgia while my dad stays here at his job and watches the house/pets.
Depending on how things go, I may either continue to live down there during the summer months, to watch our RV until my mom comes back for the next school year, or I may continue on to Orlando, Florida where the college I'm looking into is located.
Pretty big change, but I'm extremely happy. I've never seen so many available jobs in my life, as there are in the Savannah area. In fact, I already have one job lined up for when we go back down there, and about 400 other jobs I'm going to be applying for, haha.
So thats whats been up.. Theres a million other things going on right now that I could continue to ramble on about.. but its probably not necessary...

I wish you luck Brandon.
dang it know we need someone else to haze !
no really good luck brandon find us some good wheeling spots down there
good luck to ya man, might have to make some trips to visit ya. whatever you do man, you better keep in touch with us. Just cause your not local dont mean you cant post here.
Thanks guys. :)
Internet connection is gonna be a little iffy for a while.. but we are gonna get a dedicated DSL connection... Might be a month or two but I'll definitely keep in touch with everyone.
As far as wheeling goes. The nearest official wheeling spot is about 3 hours away.. but everywhere I go I see lifted trucks and jeeps with mud tires and mud all over them.. so I'm thinking theres probably some local wheeling spots somewhere near me. Hopefully.
On the way down there there is some amazing seasonal roads and roads through the mountains. You can see them from the freeway about an hour or two north of me. Two of the winter roads, on either side of the freeway, look like they would be VERY difficult to get down even in good conditions.. and they have houses off of them!
But I'll be sure to post some pics and writeups if I do get to do any wheeling...

is it warm there? If so, we'll come by for a visit :)
Best of luck--sounds like things are on the right track for your family. Sucks you need to be split up, but that's how things go on occasion.
When we were there it was 70-80 during the day and 50's at night. Very nice weather.
You can come by and visit anytime you want! Just remember to bring a tent or other camping device. :D The place we are camping at is DIRT cheap! My dad talked to the guy for like 45 minutes, and the guy is charging us $300 a month to stay there! Thats $10 a day!

Your going to love that area of Georgia. I personally have never been to that part of Ga. before but I have heard great things. I was in Colombus, which is a turd hole. Get with Grifter for any questions about Savannah as he was stationed there. He would be a wealth of info in that area.

I've decided over the last few times I've been through Ohio, that Ohio is basically Michigan, with all the life and anything even mildly pleasurable sucked out of it.
I hate Ohio. Its so dreary and flat and boring.

Naw, they took it all and put it in Cedar Point!
Sorry to hear life is going to take you out of town for a while, but sometimes you have to make a move like that to move forward in life. And congratulations to your Mom on landing a job so quick.
Thanks. We are packing up right now about planning to leave around 5 tonight. Get a few hours in, probably make it to the southern end of Ohio before we pack it up for the night. Then drive the rest of the way there tomorrow.

have a safe drive
Be safe Brandon.
Guess you don't want that shirt and sweatshirt that you ordered then.
Well.. if you have someone else to give it to, then give it away.. otherwise wait a couple weeks till I get a job and a paycheck and I can pay for them then..
The shirt is included already in my club fee's.. so thats mine anyways. :)

let me know then Brandon. Otherwise don't sweat it. I can sell the sweatshirt to some one else.
if Need be, i will buy the sweatshirt.
Have a safe trip.
Welcome to the low country, been ugly all day.....rain,rain, rain; here in Myrtle Beach, SC. I know as I got older I didn't care much for cold, but now that I have been down here for a couple months, I sure miss those little rolling hills of Michigan. The sun and beaches are great but the rest is swamp sand and copperheads;and with the rain you get muck. At least in Michigan you can power wash and start over. Actually, it seems like they have a never ending ugly "Fall" . Some trees have leaves and some don't. I guess everytime I've went off I've just keep ending up in some swamp. Just not my kind of 4 wheeling. ::ouch:: ::ouch:: ::ouch::
Good luck with your move; I'll think about you when I'm back in God's Country. At least I'm sure the weather is going to change and I don't have to deal with copperheads. ::Jeep::

Huh? Michigan is pretty flat.
Michigan is only flat in the eastern thumb and around toledo. You haven't seen the low country down south; pine trees, swamp, and houses without basements they also have a lot of trailers and they are still recovering from hurricane Hugo on the east coast. Not near as pretty as Michigan. And lastly "ville" is pronounced "vull" and if you don't say that they know your from the north. ::gay::
Yea.. I've noticed a lot of destroyed houses and mobile homes.. and in stead of cleaning them up and building a new one, they just bring in a new mobile home and park it right next to the destroyed one.
