Miracles do happen

so tyson has been applying for jobs like crazy, full time since october, but we've been looking for over a year... i mean for a real job that we could use to pay off student loans and quit mooching off of our parents basement with... and so that we can have insurance (neither of us have had insurance for most of our marriage, and tyson hasn't in 3 years- luckily he hasn't been had to go to the doctor more than once or twice!), in december he started applying for jobs like kohls target walmart home depo etc- with no call backs!... any who, so two weeks ago i got out of the shower and my sister in law told me there was someone at the door for tyson but tyson wasn't home, so i quickly got dressed and went upstairs. there was a man who said he lived in tyson's old ward from when tyson was a little kid, and he asked if tyson still needed a job and could start the next week!!!! i let him talk to tyson on my cell and he asked if tyson could be his private pilot for a plane he just bought. i couldn't believe it. NO he was just kidding, but he did get tyson a job working for a pipe company contracted with chevron. (i don't know if you've heard about the big spill in utah, so now he's monitoring the pipe line) we are so lucky, the job came to us right on our front door! we feel way blessed! last week he worked 75 hours and this week he's working even more! and next week i'm subbing full time plus teaching gym so we're keeping busy!

this is his first day with some of his new loot lol. he even got binoculars.
