Thats the story of my life. Here's a bit of an update. We moved out of our house and into the travel trailer. We WERE going to go work out of state. That's what Chucks big plan was. Instead, we moved into our friends driveway..... Apparently with this being an election year and being in a "recession", the job market in Texas and elsewhere for the type of work Chuck was planning on has nosedived. We thought he had a job in Kansas, but they punked out. So now we're staying here in Idaho. In a trailer. With a two year old.....and a dog.... Have i mentioned yet that i'm going insane? So now we're going to see how long Johnsons Excavation can keep getting projects and keep Chuckles working. It's almost inevitable that the snow will bring most construction to a screeching halt, but we'll see. If that happens, i'll go back to work, which i am NOT looking forward to. I really have enjoyed being home with Wade. (Unless it's one of those moments when he's eating dog food, or scaling the walls of the trailer...) Especially if i get knocked up anytime soon, which is a pretty good possibility. Working will be even that much more of a PITA. And after this winter, the HOPE is (notice i dont say plan anymore. I give up planning...) that Chuck gets the city job he is up for. The commitee is supposed to meet in April or March, and we'll know then. I really would be so excited if he gets that job. That would mean no more worrying about wintertime and money. I also HOPE that we can buy a house in 2009. Then we can sell this stupid trailer (or at least trade it in for an actual camp trailer instead of this insanely big house on wheels) and not live in our friends driveway! Who are great by the way. Jason and Steph have pretty much opened their home to us. We love them!
On a happy note. I finally have my own wheels again! After a two week stint with the fan-freakin-tastic mini van and a week with Carsons Focus AKA The rollerskate......i finally found a truck i liked!! I just bought an Explorer. It's great. Eddie Bauer edition with leather and every button imaginable on it! The only problem is it's white, but i can live with that i suppose!! And it sure feels great to be back in a Ford again!!!!!

Im so sorry that your plans fell thru. I hope chuck finds a job soon. I am glad your staying in idaho though. Lets get together soon
Well if by some chance you think about coming back down this way.. UTA is hiring like mad (as in UTA trax) good money too. Joe's niece is a diesel mechanic for them so if you need the hook up let me know!
I am glad that you are staying but sad cause I am sure it would have been good money. Things always happen for a reason and one day you'll know why. I know I hate hearing that but you know it's true! It was great seeing you last Friday!!
