The drive home felt like it took forever but they finally made it. Well, they made it to Tooele. They stopped and had a drink at the Flying J. This was when it was validated that they were again homeless. The girl was text messaging with DK and the two of them ended up fighting. By the end it was for sure that the couple had no place to go. They had just enough money to stay at the motel next to the Flying J for the night and that is what they did.
On Monday the couple had to figure out what to do. The guest told the girl that he knew how to work things out. He called the lady at the title company, Sandy, and told her that they wanted to look at her place. She was selling a ranch. They went to see her ranch and home. It was very beautiful. After the tour the guest told Sandy that they were going to have an extra house and did she know of anyone that would be willing to rent it from them. He said that John was not going to let them have either house until the guest could show that they had someone to move into both houses.
Sandy said she had a brother who was going to need a place to live and that she was willing to pay the rent for him to live in that house. She gave the guest a check for part of a down payment of rent and they signed papers for renting the house.
The girl just sat there in amazement at the way that the guest could get people to believe in and trust him. It truly was amazing to witness. This gave them some money to get through the day. After all, they were going to get money the next day from John.
They got a room for the night again and had money to have dinner. It was a pleasant evening. They discussed everything that they would do the next day when the got the money. New cell phones and getting ready for their house. There was still a chance the girl could get her things from her storage unit also because they had not auctioned it off yet. Things were going to be taken care of.
The next day the guest called John who said he would take care of the money stuff later in the day. They just needed to chill out for the afternoon.
They went to Gateway and spent time looking at things. The girl used to do this in another relationship. They would go into stores and dream wish. It was fun.
It started to get later and later in the day and John still had not gotten them money. No check or anything else.
This ended up happening for a couple of days. They had enough to get a room for a couple of nights but that is it.

Chapter 7...Part 10
They drove to Vegas via I-15. If the girl had realized how easy it would have been to get home back when she was in Barstow she would have gone home because it really was just get on I-15 and head back to Utah. She wouldn’t even have gotten lost on the way there.
On the way to Vegas the guest had a discussion with DK. The two of them fought and the girl knew it was not a good thing. It wasn’t specifically said but the girl was pretty sure they would not have a home when they returned later that day.
They finally reached Vegas and they were getting very low on funds. They checked into the hotel they had found before they left California and sat down to rest for a little while. They had very little money left. The guest claimed that Mary would give them money to get home besides the Escalade so it wasn’t a problem.
The guest started to talk about getting dinner and said that they should get the buffet. The girl knew they wouldn’t have hardly anything left after that and told the guest that she was not going to eat until Mary had given them money. The guest got so mad at the girl that he broke the lamp. The girl just looked at him. She knew that it could have been her that he hit. She sat at her laptop for the next couple of hours devising a way that she was getting home. She was bound and determined that she was not going to get stranded in Vegas. What worse place could there be to be homeless and moneyless?
She decided that no matter what happened she was willing to again pawn her laptop. She figured she could figure things out when she returned home, she just needed to get there. She once again put everything from the computer onto flash drives and decided not to stress over the situation.
After the guest had taken a nap they went to dinner and enjoyed themselves for the evening.
Later that night the guest again was really sick. He was foaming at the mouth and was losing time and space. The girl enjoyed just having time to herself. It sounds callous but she watched him to make sure he was still breathing but besides that she watched what she wanted to watch and played video games until she went to sleep.
The guest woke up early and called Mary. She told him to come see her at the Pilot where she worked. She said she would give him the keys to the Escalade and money.
The next thing she knew the girl got a phone call from the guest telling her that Mary didn’t have the Escalade with her or money. That he was coming back but that Mary would call him before checkout and get with him.
Checkout time came and the guest had been unsuccessful in reaching Mary. They finally just had to leave. The girl told the guest her idea of pawning her laptop. He seemed genuinely sorry. They also had her TV and DVD player with them. The guest thought that would give them enough money to get home. Apparently he didn’t have a clue how much pawn shops gave for certain things because it certainly was not enough. They did end up pawning the laptop. The girl was sad to let it go again but no matter what she was not going to be stuck away from home again.
They left the pawn shop, got gas and headed back home to Utah.

Chapter 7...Part 9
Friday arrived. They had rented a vehicle and packed all of their belongings in the vehicle. Every time they left the house for a day or more the guest wanted to make sure they packed up all of their stuff to take with them. This time everything had been packed in anticipation of moving. The guest said that when they returned they would all be moving into their new homes.
They left early that day to drive to Tooele. The guest was supposed to meet with John and finalize everything before they left Utah. The couple went to lunch and the guest called John to see if he was going to meet with them. John told him that he was not going to be able to meet with them that day. The guest asked him when he was going to get his money because now John was in charge of all of that. He told the guest that he would for sure have his money on the following Tuesday.
The couple was waiting for time for the girl to go to work. It was getting near time that they would need to get her back to Ogden. The guest told her that there was another way to get back to Ogden besides I-15. The girl racked her brain trying to figure out what that way was. In reality the guest tricked her. He told her which way to start driving. It wasn’t until they were headed on I-80 west that he told her there wasn’t any way to turn around until they got to Wendover. The girl was furious with him. He told her that if she turned around he would just go to California without her. The girl probably should have turned around but she decided to go with it. Once again the guest got his way because the girl gave in.
The couple drove all day and arrived in Reno late that evening. They stopped for dinner, medicine for the guest, and a shower at the Pilot then continued on. The drive ended up much longer than anticipated because they were detoured after Lake Tahoe. The couple never did find out the reason for the detour. They arrived at their destination early on Saturday morning.
This was when the drama started that would later leave the couple homeless. The guest and DK started having discussions about rules of their house when they received it. The guest told DK that John wanted a signed contract stating that they would keep the house in a certain fashion and that checks of the premises could happen at any time. DK was not happy about this situation. This discussion happened over breakfast.
After breakfast the couple was able to check into a hotel and laid down for some much needed rest.
After a rest the guest called his brother, Mitch, to work things out with the RV. He told the girl that he was going over to his brother’s house to work things out without her there. Truly the girl was thrilled to have the time to relax without him there and to get some more sleep.
The guest returned later and said that Mitch had loaned the RV’s out to family and that they would not return until Monday. Mitch said that he refused to call them and have them return sooner. When the guest asked him why he loaned them out when he knew they were coming to pick one up Mitch said that he didn’t believe they were coming so didn’t think it would be an issue. However he said they were going to dinner with Mitch and his family.
They went to dinner with Mitch and his family. Of course Mitch picked an expensive Japanese restaurant and the guest didn’t say that they couldn’t afford it so they ate an expensive dinner when they were already getting low on funds.
That night they got sleep and packed up on Sunday morning to head home. The girl asked if they should wait until Monday and take the RV home. The guest told her that he didn’t want to spend the money to stay when he didn’t know when they were returning so they should head to Vegas and meet with Mary. He said Mary would give them his Escalade and they could take it home.
So off to Vegas they headed.
They left early that day to drive to Tooele. The guest was supposed to meet with John and finalize everything before they left Utah. The couple went to lunch and the guest called John to see if he was going to meet with them. John told him that he was not going to be able to meet with them that day.

Chapter 7...Part 8
Sunday morning they packed everything up. The guest called John who said he was too busy to meet with them that morning. He said they were still in Wendover and would not be coming back soon. The couple headed back home.
The girl knew getting back home was not going to be pleasant. They still had no money and it was Easter. The kids didn’t have anything for Easter and the girl didn’t have any kind of money to even help out. DK and Kent had figured out a way to get some things for the kids. The house had been all packed up and everything was a total mess.
The couple got home and was welcomed back into the house but not pleasantly. Everyone was disappointed in the weekend and emotions were running high.
The next week or so was a crazy week. There were emails back and forth about the houses and the guest said that John wanted him to run Miller Sports Park when he bought it.
The guest told the girl that they had to go to California. He said that they had 2 motorhomes there that his brother had been keeping in storage but could no longer store. Apparently doing the paperwork at all those different RV stores they now owned a couple of RV’s.
They fought all week about going to California. The girl wanted to spend money from her next paycheck to get her things out of storage. She had one last chance to not lose everything and she wanted to get what she could. The guest fought with her so much and cried about it that she finally gave in and told him that they could go but this was absolutely the last time that she was giving in. After this she was making the decisions as to what to do with her paycheck. It’s not like he was bringing in anything and she told him that when he got his money he could do whatever he wanted to with it. She also told him that she would go but only with the condition that she would go to work on Friday night.
The rest of the week was spent planning for the trip.

Chapter 7...Part 7
The next morning the guest called John who told him they needed to go look for furniture and get him an estimate because he was buying them a house and furnishing it.
So off to the furniture store they went. They spent a couple of hours looking at furniture and dreaming what their home would look like. The guest even called a man about putting in a coy pond for them at the house.
After that they went back to the hotel and waited to hear from John. They got the room for an extra night and they spent that night discussing what could be done about the house situation. Ironically the girl had just gotten her paycheck on Thursday and it was now Saturday and they were completely out of money, 2 days later.
While they were waiting to hear from John DK and Kent called the couple to tell them that the house was now up for sale again and what was going on. The guest called and talked with John’s financial advisor. He said he would call them right back. When he called back he said that the house was now in probate and they would need to do something different. The guest called DK and Kent and told them the news. John told the guest that if DK and Kent decided on a house then he would go ahead and pay for it and the guest could pay him back. The couple called their real estate agent and DK and Kent and told them all to meet them at the houses. There were 2 other houses the couple had liked that were empty and could be moved into quickly.
They all met at the houses and DK and Kent decided on the house they wanted. Then they all went to the furniture store for them to pick out furniture.
It had been a very long day and they were all exhausted at the end of it. DK and Kent went back home and the couple stayed in Tooele for the night. John was supposed to take them to Wendover for the evening but by the time they were done in the furniture store it was too late to go. They got lucky and the real estate agent took them out to dinner at Flying J. If he hadn’t done that then they would not have eaten that night.
The couple stayed the night and got some sleep. The girl was getting frustrated because it seemed some things were working out but she still hadn’t met John and it seemed like so much was falling apart. They had no money and the trip to Florida had been cancelled. This had caused extra stress for her friends who had also lost their water that weekend and had to wait until the week to get it turned back on.
So off to the furniture store they went. They spent a couple of hours looking at furniture and dreaming what their home would look like. The guest even called a man about putting in a coy pond for them at the house.

Chapter 7...Part 6
The next morning they packed everything up and headed back to Utah. The drive home seemed long but they finally got home and rested for the rest of the weekend.
Monday morning was back to work as usual. This continued for the next week then there was more drama. They all kept waiting to hear when everything was going to take place in regards to the house. The guest kept talking with the real estate agent and everyone else about getting the house taken care of.
The guest had been in touch with the head of Grand-Am, John. He told him they were having trouble getting the money that was owed the guest. John told him that he would be in Utah and would settle things. He was flying out because he was buying Miller Motor Sports Park.
The guest kept in touch with John. He said that his people would straighten things out with the house and everything would be fine. John said that his people had the house keys and would get them to all of them.
Before the week was up John said he felt bad about everything that had happened and that he was going to fly all the family, including kids, to Florida in his private jet to Disney World for Easter.
The couple rented a vehicle then they all went to SLC and stayed in a hotel overnight because they were supposed to hear from John and leave on a plane in the morning.
The next morning John called the guest and told him that he wanted to meet with the girl and the guest in Tooele. He said he was staying out at the track and would meet them at the Flying J.
The couple got to the Flying J and waited for John to get there. The guest got a call from him saying that he wanted them to go pick out a house. He wanted to know how much money he needed to get together before they left for Florida.
The couple got online trying to find a real estate agent quickly. Then they started to drive around the Tooele area looking for houses. They got a call back from a real estate agent who promised to meet them. The couple found a house in Stansbury Park that they both fell in love with. When the real estate agent got to them he called and got the combination of the key box and they went to see it.
The house was everything they could ever have asked for. It was just beautiful and they could have done so much with it. They looked at a few other houses but that was the one they decided they wanted.
The guest called John to tell him they had found a house. John told him to go ahead and sign papers for it and he would get the finances in order.
They went to the title company for the guest to sign papers. They also called and got DK and Ken a room for the night while they were out running around taking care of things.
They went back to the Flying J after everything was accomplished to wait for John and his instructions. It was getting late so the guest said they should get a room for the night. They stayed next door to wait for information.

Chapter 7...Part 5
The wedding weekend was fast approaching. The money was not coming and the guest was becoming more and more unbearable to a lot of people in the household. He wanted his way no matter what and when others would contradict him or wanted something different he made sure they knew they were the one who was in the wrong.
There were good and bad days. Finally the weekend of the wedding was upon them. There was no money and the girl had gotten a cut back at her job and her check was not as big as it usually was. The guest thought they should still go to Vegas even though the more they researched it they would not have the money. He had already told DK and Kent that they were coming with them and that the couple was covering their room and expenses. He said they should keep an open mind and that maybe they would work something out.
DK and the girl went dress shopping. It was quickie dress shopping so it might have been more fun but they did still have fun looking. They found a really cute and nice dress that was on sale for prom. They both loved it and they decided that was the one they should go back and get.
The couple booked the rooms in Vegas and rented a car to drive down. DK made arrangements for the kids. After buying the dress and having it fitted they all headed off to Vegas for the weekend.
The weekend was fun. They had just enough money to have some fun and be able to eat. The girl kept trying to talk the guest into eating more cheaply but of course he wouldn’t hear of it and they did spend a lot of money on food.
Saturday night the couple dressed in their ‘wedding’ clothes and they went to take pictures in Caesar’s Palace. The guest told the girl that was going to count as their wedding evening and that they would make it legal when they returned to Utah. He just didn’t want anyone to know they got married in Utah. He talked to Bob on the phone and told him they had gotten married.
The scariest and most humorous part of the weekend was that night when they tried to find Fremont Street. DK and Kent wanted to go so they attempted to find it. They kept driving and finally the guest decided he was done with trying to find it. He turned right and saw a drunk driver stop. He immediately pulled off to the side of the road and got out telling the girl that she was going to drive. He said he was not going to jail because the car was rented in her name. As he came around the car, a motorcycle cop stopped him. He asked what he was doing. He told the cop that the car was rented and not in his name. The cop told him they didn’t care about that. They only cared if someone was drinking. Ironically he was the only one in the car who had not drunk that night.
Because of the physical ailments of the guest, he could not pass any of the typical tests they give to possible drunk drivers. He had bad knees and a heart condition. The cop put him through all the tests. After he passed them all he gave him a breathalyzer test. He actually tested him twice because he didn’t believe it the first time. The cop finally let him go.
The guest still made the girl drive. She had to go past the checkpoint. She got yelled at by the guest when she answered ‘yes’ to the question as to whether she had been drinking or not. She had a half a drink before dinner several hours before. She knew if they smelled any alcohol on her breath she could get in trouble for lying to a cop. The cop looked in her eyes and asked her a few questions and let them go because of course she was sober. All the way back to the hotel the girl was yelled at for saying ‘yes’.
Before they went to bed that night the guest watched over the girl’s shoulder as she talked with friends on Facebook and made sure she told them that they had gotten married.
There were good and bad days. Finally the weekend of the wedding was upon them. There was no money and the girl had gotten a cut back at her job and her check was not as big as it usually was.

As he came around the car, a motorcycle cop stopped him. He asked what he was doing. He told the cop that the car was rented and not in his name. The cop told him they didn’t care about that. They only cared if someone was drinking. Ironically he was the only one in the car who had not drunk that night.
Because of the physical ailments of the guest, he could not pass any of the typical tests they give to possible drunk drivers. He had bad knees and a heart condition. The cop put him through all the tests. After he passed them all he gave him a breathalyzer test. He actually tested him twice because he didn’t believe it the first time. The cop finally let him go.
The guest still made the girl drive. She had to go past the checkpoint. She got yelled at by the guest when she answered ‘yes’ to the question as to whether she had been drinking or not. She had a half a drink before dinner several hours before. She knew if they smelled any alcohol on her breath she could get in trouble for lying to a cop. The cop looked in her eyes and asked her a few questions and let them go because of course she was sober. All the way back to the hotel the girl was yelled at for saying ‘yes’.
Before they went to bed that night the guest watched over the girl’s shoulder as she talked with friends on Facebook and made sure she told them that they had gotten married.
