Job


So I thought I would update everyone on our new job opportunity. Last September Richard severely injured his hand at work and was put on a temporary leave with work men compensation until he healed. Then a month later his whole department was laid off including him, but luckily he was under workmen compensation until his hand healed. So the doctors told Richard is could be up to six more months before his hand would fully heal. Richard decided that it would be the perfect time to finish his degree that he only had one year to complete. This past January he enrolled in the energy engineer program. He started the semester out with 7 classes and a lab and was in class pretty much from 9am until10 pm everyday of the week but Fridays!! Things were busy but we were managing them. During the semester a few programs in the engineer field were offering internships at the end of the semester, which was perfect timing because that would be around the time workers compensation would end. This past Tuesday Richard was offered an internship with a major company with more than excellent pay and great benefits, yay! The only downer is it is in Eunice New Mexico, the internship is for five months and then where ever they need him if its back here in Midland then he comes back here or it could be a surrounding area in Texas. We aren't moving yet Allison already enrolled in Kinder here and soccer both our families are here, plus Richard has one semester left to graduate here! So Richard is going to try to commute and we will see how it goes! Oh and the internship doesn't start until July. But we are beyond excited and feel so blessed with everything we have worked for has come to fruition, thanks to our Heavenly Father! By the way we are excitedly awaiting our California trip in a month and Richard will get to come down the last week of our trip and we get to spend our 8 yr wedding anniversary getaway in San Fransisco for a couple of days while my Aunt watches the kiddos. We already have are tickets to see Wicked!!!!
