Quick Trip and a New Job

Richard had a job interview in Layton Utah last week.  This was to be his second interview with this company and it is a job he really wanted to get.  We decided to take the kids and make it a quick fun family trip in addition to the interview. While there we went to Cherry Hill water park.  It was a fun filled day of swimming, miniature golf, mazes, rock wall climbing and just plain fun!  Our favorite place was the lazy river.  It turned out to be a cloudy day and a little cool, so the place was pretty empty. But we are die hard Oregonians and weren't going to let cool and cloudy ruin our fun!  It was nice!

The night we got home Richard got the call!  He got the job.  He will be working as an electrical technician for a company called Schlumberger.  He will work two weeks away from home.  They will fly him around and then home for a week then back out to work two more weeks.  It is a tremendous relief after having no income for the past four months.  This job pays very well and will allow me and the kids to stay here in our home for at least another year.  For now, avoiding the huge change of moving is really important for the kids sake.  It will also take the pressure off me finding a job really fast after graduation.  If he settles into a place where he loves working, we may end up moving to be with him.  There are many location options and nothing is certain right now and we don't want to have to move the kids several times over the next few years.  Nothing has been certain for a long time now, so I am choosing not to worry and look at this as an adventure that could lead us anywhere. We are so blessed!

Before heading home we stopped at a fun restaurant that was having a half price special.  Have I ever mentioned how much I adore my little people???
