The day finally came! It seems like a lot longer than 12 days ago that Ron was originally supposed to leave! Don't get me wrong, its been great having him around the extra two weeks. But when you are without a paycheck, have Christmas coming, and not sure if your new job is actually going to pan out...it gets a little nerve racking and time goes by REALLY REALLY slowly...until he's actually gone! Up until late last night he still wasn't sure if he would be needing to leaving this morning! But the first word of good news in 12 days came our way this morning! He gets to start a day earlier than we last thought! Woohoo! As soon as he gets to North Dakota tomorrow he gets to start training!
Thank you so much to everyone who has been supportive and encouraging the last few intense weeks! We are really praying things work out for us and go our way. Especially since we haven't heard a success story yet about what we are getting ourselves into! Anytime I tell someone he is driving water truck for the oil fields they tell me almost word for word. "Its a good job. The money is great. But so and so said they would never do it again." Good thing we are used to the long hours! Hopefully we can find somewhere close to live and be back in a few years!
So...per Ron's request. I will be updating the family blog DAILY for him, so he doesn't miss out on too much while we're apart!
So for today...Madilyn got to go to Primary for singing time with all the kids that will be sunbeams in January.
Smith's invited us over for dinner. Both kids about licked their plates clean! (It was delicious!)-Thanks PAM and TAYLOR. We came home read Christmas stories, tidied up the house finally, cleaned up the table and chairs. Madilyn scrubbed her table so good she almost got all the marker off!! When she was done Landon scrubbed any hard surface he could find, including the couches! Then Madilyn wanted to wait for family prayer until Dad got home because it was his turn! :) Landon went to bed with out getting out once! He was mad he had to go to bed and couldn't watch toons, but once he was there he didn't fight!
1 night down...34792348934896389 to go!
WE LOVE YOU DAD!
