Last winter we were given the opportunity to sell our investment property. We had dreams of building a house there but knew we should probably take the offer, even knowing we would be losing a huge chunk of money. Our reasoning was that we would get ourselves completely out of debt. With the economy down and building was close to non-existant we decided to cut our losses and sell.
The building business has picked up quite a bit but nothing like we were used to so we decided to take our extra money and invest in a semi and water trailer and put it to work in the oil fields.
Today I am headed to Idaho Falls to pay the final bill on the trailer. Everything has been gone through and all of the parts that could be possible headaches are replaced. We want our drivers to be in a reliable work truck, not one that is breaking down all the time. That is the least we can do for them. They will be working 10-12 hours from home, two weeks on, two weeks off, in the Dakota's or in Wyoming. The money is good so it is worth the inconvienience but still not the ideal situation.
Hopefully the money spent will pay off quickly. Jared and I have been so blessed. Hopefully this will bless the lives of others who have been struggling also. I feel blessings are given to those who give and Jared has a huge heart when it comes to giving. He is a good man and I am grateful he is always giving.
