I was a young lady growing older (in )working with the casinos money, in Las Vegas. The people never stopped coming!! Very stressful, and I tried changing up my reality, by changing my shifts, my days off of the week, one casino for another... unhappiness followed. But the bills got paid--at what expense-my life!!
It was truly a treadmill-at a speed that i was steadily falling behind on. I had to cut down somehow, some way, so I lowered my expectations and hopefully their expectations of me... but its the same in all of them. It was a "Live to die another day" scenario no matter that I always gave 110% of myself.
Then one night, I met a customer- yes-one of THEM . He was so odd, and cute in a mysteriously mischievious way..(.it was like he was breaking the rules of conduct....and i was always paying attention ) . a couple months later we went out to listen to some Blues music..then a hike, then the B.B.King concert at stateline where i strangely broke my own foot... he was a Knight in shining armor when it came time for surgery and I "fell" for him after that.
Thats my story leading up to the many trips to National Parks together and then the time apart due to his work, (Union Welder-traveler).
One day he came back, and I married him, and we bought a travel trailer and drove off together,it was Springtime in another part of the country-that was a wonderful idea in 2008.
We upgraded to a 5th wheel later that year for the headroom and got a nice price on it.(I put a dishwasher in it.) I have been to Wa., Idaho, Ca.,Ky., Tn.,Indiana, always back to Las Vegas to visit my Mom, and we are now on the Az./Ca. border..on the Colorado river, I hope for the winter...I hear the desert fills up with RVers from Ca., to Texas... That must be a sight ! We are extending our RVing thru the working years and probably (i say) settle down afterwards. Steve is working most the time, but I am so happy with my solitude and birdsong, everyday is enjoyable now. Thats my story,; I want to hear yours---online, over coffee !!
I'm Kristi
I also have my Knight (a little tarnished, but my life...
