Gautier

Spent a week here rebuilding after Katrina. Can’t wait to return. I’ve yet to be to another area as friendly as Gautier and Pascagoula.

I am actually from Bedford, Indiana. If you dont know of it there is a reason for that..its a small town with absolutly nothing in it. They just got a wal-mart supercenter and thats a huge deal..yeah its that small. Anyway…I had been with my fiance 2 weeks shy of 7 years. He decides we need to go to Texas to live but we had to take my best friend who happened to be female. I am sure you can see where this is going. Why couldnt I see it when it was happening? Anyway…being the lovestruck idiot I was…I said SURE!! So, I quit my job packed a few things and away we went all 3 of us… Well, we ended up stopping in Gautier because it was really pretty. After some time we finally found a campground that was open (shepard state park) and decided that would be our new home. Yeah, we lived ina tent. Then a few days later MY fiance and MY best friend start talking…next thing I know Im being told its time to break up because we had been together for to long and he wants to know what its like to be with her..and blah blah blah…which is really stupid because she is married, has 5 kids and AND she is going to jail for 6 months..yet I get dumped for that?? Anyone understand that let me know. I guess at least I got to see the ocean for the first time with the love of my life before he left me. Neway sorry…Gautier is an incredibly beautiful place. I will never go there again though cause it now has to many bad memories but it is really pretty. And the rock shop is freaking awesome. So, my advice is to go visit but be sure you dont go under the same circumstances I did!!

I lived here for just over a year! If I could afford to live here again, I’d do it in a heartbeat! I LOVED it here! My neighbors were so wonderful, right from day one, when they rescued us from the nightmare that is moving companies! (our moving company left us without our belongings for over 2 weeks, and our wonderful neighbors gave us everything we needed to survive until our stuff got there! Without us asking!)

Everything here is so laid back and carefree. Everyone looks out for everyone else, which was something demonstrated to me in the wake of Hurricane George. Even my landlord was awesome!

And it really was beautiful there! There is so much to do that you can’t possibly get bored! I never had so much fun in my life!
