Big, BIG news!

Hello Friends!! 

We have big news...HUGE!! Ready!? ......Jesse starts full time at the mines on Monday, January 23rd!! WOOOO!! This means... double in pay and no more contractor!! :) We are beyond excited!! Originally, we were told that he would only have to work for the contractor for about 3 months... however, that was wrong. So, we've been waiting patiently..ok, maybe a bit impatiently... for this to finally happen! Hello, MONEY!! 

Some other big news... Do you all remember a few weeks ago when I told you about that job I interviewed for had reposted and how I never heard anything back from the company I interviewed with. Well, I FINALLY sent an email to the president of the company and I literally received a phone call from the director of the so. ill office within an hour! I was shocked! She was very nice and assured me that the situation would be handled appropriately and that they would help me find a full time job! Also, the job I applied for had reposted because the company decided to wait to hire due to changes in their budget. So, since the job is still posted, my resume and application FINALLY got sent to them. I heard from the lady this morning and she said that she sent it all over to the company! yayy! I also received several phone calls from them today asking how they could help me and assuring me that they were eagerly looking for a job that would suit me. I guess a little bit of complaining can go a long way! :) Needless to say, I'm very happy that I sent that email. Maybe now I can find a full time job in my field! 

Well, tomorrow we are going to visit Jesse's Granny, Great-Grandma, Dad, Stepmom, and little brother. We're super excited! Jesse's Granny is up for a visit from Florida, so we're definitely excited to see and spend some time with her! 

That's all she wrote folks... Have a great weekend! :)
