Here's to new beginnings


Well.......

After much thought and consideration, Jason and I walked through a door that has been opened for us. It was more so opened for Jason, but being that I am his wife and I stand beside him...that means I'm in too. It's been a crazy roller coaster of a ride but I'm quite sure that he is making the best decision. Yesterday, he turned in his two weeks notice at MS. Well, he tried to do so on Friday and his boss ended up giving him his letter of resignation back. I think he was trying to say that they didn't want him to leave. I guess you can say they consider Jason a great asset to the company. I can't blame them. Jason is good at what he does and is a hard worker! He ABSOLUTELY loves everything about his current job. He loves what he does and has managed to gain a lot of experience that will carry him a long way. Along with gaining experience, he has also gained some valuable friendships. You see the guys at MS are kind of a small family. They all work their little selves to the bone (well, almost all of them), but they also have a great time. They love to play pranks on each other and I have definitely gotten some laughs in hearing about a lot of them. I even had the pleasure of experiencing a prank that was played on Jason, that couldn't have gone any better. When you see him you will have to ask him about the truck sign prank, he will love me for mentioning it. Having been up there a few times and getting to know some of the guys, I found myself attached to a few of them. I mean, I think I even got a little sad knowing he would be leaving them behind. Just for a little while though, because we plan to keep in touch and hopefully continue to see them.

CHOOOOO CHOOOOOOO!!!

So....Beginning on November 29, 2010 - Jason will begin his new venture. He recently accepted the position of a Diesel Electrician with Union Pacific rail road. Some of you may or may not know but the rail road has a lot to offer for the future. It's a great career choice and the benefits are great. Of course, in accepting this position there will be some sacrificing. We can almost bet that he will be working odd shifts. Which as you know, may be kind of hard for us considering we love to go, go, go! Jason's grandfather James Alvin "Pop" Fox once said: "If you want something, you have to give up something!" So, we know that this will require some giving up. Time away from doing the things we enjoy to do and time away from our family and friends, which will be really hard for us. It's going to take some getting use to but years down the road, we know that those sacrifices will all be worth it.

I can't express how proud I am of my man. He's such a good provider and I can't thank the good Lord enough for blessing my life with him. Where this fork in the road takes us...God only knows, but we TRUST that HE is guiding us and will continue to do so. We know that things are happening according to His will and while change can be hard, we are SO very thankful for the blessings he brings us each day. So, here's to new beginnings!!

P.S. I guess I can officially consider myself one of the rail road wives. I can't say that I mind though. I love those ladies to pieces! ;)

Until next time...keep dreaming!!!
Blessings,
