Man, I don't know how many times that phrase was used during our move back from Texas. But it made the trek across the state that much better. I have a feeling that we will be saying that phrase a lot this summer.
Craig found out this week that Craig will be sent to Hunter, OK for his next project. (Hunter is pretty pumped about the small town's name. I'll be honest, it's a great name and when we go down there, I am hoping to find some cool signs that have "HUNTER" on them and photograph them.) We definitely were not expecting Craig to get assigned to another project this fast, but we're happy about it. A little stressed, but happy. It's crazy news to receive after a 2 week break from work.
We have been very lucky with the previous two project assignments being relatively close to home. We knew that this was part of the package with us buying a house and the boys and I being here. It just means that we'll be making more trips to airports and we'll have a much longer drive when we go to see Craig. But hey, it's a job and they must think he does all right to put him right back out on a project vs. sitting in the office with 100+ other employees who are typically on the road.
And I'm really hoping that on this project, we can arrange things so I can finally get to the top of a turbine. Fingers crossed!
We know that this will be another challenge for our family. Hard for the boys (and myself and Craig) to say good-bye after 3.5 short days knowing that there will be 17 days that we won't be seeing him. And just knowing that he's not just a quick drive away. It will take planning and a possible hotel stay. But, we will do it because we have to and it's just another adventure in this crazy thing called life.
