Our Life This Week

No pictures to post, just keeping you up to date on our lives.
First of all...GREAT news...Scott was offered a new job this week. He is still at RDO and doing ok, despite the obvious financial crisis especially when selling major construction eqipment. He is still making money, but life in sales is always unstable...especially in this economy! A friend he met a year ago up here who owns a huge energy company is growing so fast that he needs a manager over his eqipment and someone to purchase new stuff while taking care of the old...yes I know, my vocab on construction and sales is limited, but stick with me. Anyway, they really want him to work for them. There is not downside to this. It is a salaried position which is a breath of fresh air after years of commission. It is management...which makes him feel great. It is with a company and people he really likes. It is a guarantee right now which is really something in this economy. And they will provide him witha truck, a computer, and all of the other good stuff. He hasn't officially started, but he is pretty much taking it...and it super excited, as are we.
So what's the downside of this? Well....they want to buy him a company truck, instead of paying him to use his monster truck right now.... so I am going to have to suck it up and learn how to drive that beast...please pray for me...especially in the parking lot areas. HE has promised he will get me a step because it really is a big truck.
Other than that we are doing end of year busyness...THANKS GOD.....reading and math TAKS tests are next week and then those horrible tests are over. My deaf ed kids have grown by leaps and bounds this year...I am very proud of their reading progress as a result of my hard work and discipline. I did go to the Weatherford ISD job fair last week...I'd love to work "in town" but it was a nightmare...My ADHD was in overdrive with ahundred people around while I interviewed so I honestly can't say what they thought of me. I don't mind my current position, but do have some ethical concerns as far as the pressure and emphasis on TAKS testing.
Carsyn is gearing up for her dance recital in about a month...she performs her Gloria Estefan tap routine at MayFest in Ft. Worth this Thursday. Yeah!
Payton got a new teacher who is a miracle worker...she has been so great since Miss Emily has come around!
And Marcus is just anxiously wrapping up a freshman year. He is at a wrestling banquet tonight in pants, a shirt and tie and is almost taller than Scott.
Pictures will come soon!!!
Off to watch "The WRestler".
