Snow Day

The Jeep in his snow performance lived up to his reputation - fun... but incredibly dangerous!! - Quote taken from Jesse.

Lynn had to work today... she drove herself!! It has been almost 4 years since I have had to drive in the snow! I am proud to say I made it there and back... in one piece and did not put any more dents in the truck!! Oh, then Jesse calls me at work and asks if one of the guys will put the chains on for me. The guys are trying to get my chains on and they just are not fitting correctly so they look at what size they are and they are too small!!! So, I drove home very slowly!!

Jesse... well... he claims he worked really hard today... but every time I talked to him he was out walking around outside. Or, he would call me and tell me he took the Jeep out for a spin.

When I got home from work I caught him with the Jeep out and he tells me to jump in. We are going to take his shipment to the mail lady [who was waiting at the front of the complex]. We spin and slide our way to the front of the complex. Jesse then wanted to go to the bank and cash a check... are you kidding me?! So, we drive over to the bank which is a block away and they are closed... so what else is a boy suppose to do when he has an empty parking lot full of snow!!!!!!! DONUTS!!! So, we are playing around in the parking and our neighbor/jeep buddy pulls into the parking lot and starts doing donuts with us!!

I am still secretly hoping for another snow day... as I didn't really get one. The weather reports claim it is suppose to be kind of yucky in the morning. I hope so!!

Interview Madness

This will be short and sweet - I just wanted to update you all on our interview process.

We received a couple more offers for interviews while we were in Wisconsin for Christmas. We turned down one and accepted the other. Now, we have 6 interviews in 5 days in 4 states!!

Monday = Iowa
Tuesday = Minnesota
Wednesday = Chicago
Thursday = Milwaukee
Friday = 2 in Milwaukee

I talked with Jesse last night he was doing very well. He said he wasn't nervous - I hope that is true!

Thanks so much for every ones support!! I'll keep you posted on our progress!!

Yes! Oh wait, No!

For some reason I have to learn my lesson the hard way on everything! I came home from work last night and Jesse gave me some "bad" news. As of yesterday we thought we had 6 interviews, but we really have 5. We lost Hibbing, MN!!!!!!! Jesse received an e-mail from the Hibbing site and he read it like he had an interview. I was totally excited!! I really wanted to go there! It sounded like a cute little town up in the back woods of Minnesota! My Uncle Brad even wanted us to go here - great fishing holes!!

Last night he received another e-mail from them saying that they were not going to offer him an interview at this time. I guess you could say I was bit heart broken! But, I am no longer picking a site - what we get, is what we get!! I had already been looking at apartments in Hibbing. I only had 8 to choose from, but I was looking. I was looking to see what kind of jobs they had to offer. Long story short, I need to be patient and wait to see what we get.

So, we have 5 interviews in 5 days. (January 8 - 12)
Iowa (I can't remember where)
Chicago
2 in Milwaukee
and I think our last one is in Minneapolis.

And for some happy news!!! We leave on Friday to head back to Wisconsin to spend the holidays with our family and friends!! Whooohooo!! We are so excited it has been about 6 months since we have seen everyone!!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!
