2007 Review
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone, and thank God for sending Jesus to take our sins away!!! Nothing is more important then giving thanks for God, so we figured we would start there this year; as we have much to be thankful for!!!!
This year started with a simple call to Victaulic in Easton PA, just to say hi and wish some of my ex co-workers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!! Then the conversation turned to how things were going with finding a replacement; because what we knew last was they still hadn’t found a suitable person yet!!! We were very shocked to find out that they still had not settled on hiring someone permanent after 2 years from the time we moved to CA. So, we started talking about the possibility of us moving back come summertime, so the kids could finish school, and that was pretty much how things stayed for about a month or two. Then, we decided to call back and see how things were coming along on there end and they wanted to see if we could move the date up to April, so we said we might be able to do that, and it seemed to be really on the move on there end, but not so much on our end. Then end of February came and we got a call from my ex boss at Victaulic, something to the effect of, can I fly out for an interview in 2 weeks…..So, I said yes!! So we kicked things into high gear with packing things and getting things ready, because all things were pointing to the fact of moving back to PA by April!!!!
After setting up the flight out and back from PA a very shocking accident accrued where David Stehly was killed in a car wreck! We still remember & love you Dave!!!
God worked out for me to be able to make his viewing. Thank you, Lord!..........
The interview was the next day, a Friday, which went as best as it could!! We found out that I was the only person they had plans of interviewing, which was another praise to God. Then I stayed the weekend and was back Sunday night in CA. Very happy to see Tina and the kids, and now was the time for waiting.
We had things planned pretty tight, so tight only God could make it work. Mike and April had planned to visit us the week before we were planning on moving, I had to give my letter of resignation to the City of West Sacramento before we found out the new job came through for us, and we had to pack during all this. Crazy time, but God worked it all out, because the day we found out about the job at Victaulic came through for us, was the same day I finally decided to hand in the notice! AMEN…..
I had about a week and a half notice in and then I would be done with work until mid April. Mike and April surprised us with bringing out Mom on there Family vacation to CA. We didn’t cram too much in only 2 road trips taken, on to San Fran, which we got to stop by Sears Point and go in Infineon Raceway; which was Mike’s favorite thing I think!!! Then we spent time at Pier 39 in the Aquarium there for the kids, and walked around the rest of the Pier just checking stuff out!!! Our next trip was to the coast to see a the Point Arena Light House, which was one I had drawn for Tina of her wedding gift! The road trip itself was very exciting, some of the most challenging driving Mike and I have ever done, crossing over the Coastal Mountains!!!! But, a trip well worth it, we even made it to a spot on the beach and got to touch the Pacific Ocean, hopefully something the kids remember for a long time!!!!! Tucker even came for the long ride and romp in the sand!!!!
While they were visiting us the last day they helped us pack everything into the Penske truck to give us a head start on moving. We are very thankful they did because it would have been very hard to do it all on our own!!!!
