The last couple months have been crazy at our house. craaazzzzy good- that is! It all started when Beau got asked to come in and interview for a job he had put in for a few months earlier. He was soooo worried about this, it was not a trucking job. (yikes)
Beau has been a truck driver for the last 12 years and has loved every minute of it and has been an awesome trucker at that! He started hauling trash in the roll off bins to drums of oil, (insert small job while he was a tree trimmer for APS) to hauling pigs for Farmer John, then came hauling gas, then driving with his buds hauling dirt, equipment, salt and whatever else they needed.
The last year has been one of the best and one of the worst all at the same time. When trucking was good, it was great and when it was bad- there wasn't any. He was gone for weeks at a time, then he would come home and not have work for days and days at a time. Who would have ever thought that the economy would affect the truck drivers? Not me, cuz "Without Trucks America Stops," right?
Well because of how slow it was (and a lot of praying) he went and interviewed and was offered a job at SRMG (Salt River Material Group). He accepted with a start date of 3 weeks away. The next 3 weeks were rough (which resulted in a few white hairs on Beau's head). He hated quitting his job. He loved it and didn't want to leave. He didn't want to leave Tommy and he was super sad about not being a trucker anymore. :( You would have thought he was giving away one of our kids the way he moped around!!
Then he started...
and has loved it and been completely amazed at the benefits and how awesome it is.
"happy day- all is well!"
(I love it because he gets off at 2 everyday and is home every night!)

Then he hurt his back...note to Beau:
Never again move 10 railroad ties all by yourself!
Or I will just have to put you out of your misery.
(JK! I love you too much, you'll just have to suffer!)
Next came the awesome surprise to buy the best piece of land in town! We did and our house is now for sale!
YAY!
So that is whats new with us! And that is why I never blog anymore... I am hanging out with my husband! :)

I think it is totally awesome he quit his job trucking, he might be sad for a little while, but I bet your family is LOVING him being around all of the time! We are out of the diamond s loop, but we hear things now and then on how business has slowed way down. Congrats to you guys! Im really happy for your family! and congrats on selling your house! Thats exciting too!
ahh, nice. I'm jealous...not jealous that you get to hang out with your husband all afternoon, but jealous that you want to. haha. Ok ok, I usually do too, just not for the last few days. ha!
And I LOVE your land! That's perfect! You'll be building yoru dream home before we build ours. ugh! maybe if I keep popping out kids fast enough, we'll outgrown this one and that'll make us build ours quicker...ugh, ok ok, I won't do that.
Hi Jessica,
I am Tommy's daughter.. :) I will follow your blog..I think it is the cutest and your kids are darling!
My dad was super sad when Beau left and I think is having a hard time out on the road right now cuz his buddy isn't there, he's been back in TX for about a week but will be home in a few days......BUT he knows it's what's best for yall's family and for Beau..He sure does miss him though.
That is super exciting about your land, I hope everything works out! Take Care!
