So as most of you know ... Rob and I took a little adventure this last weekend.

Rob got offered an "interview" that i was able to go on.

They "Blue Dog RV" offered to pay our flight and hotel and gave us a truck to drive all for this interview. We left on Thursday and got home Saturday. I was quiet and adventure. Our plane was to depart at 1 pm from the Boise airport but was delayed due to "mechanical issues"! So an hour and a half later we were off the ground and landed in Spokane WA.

We were picked up and taken back to Post Falls to see the New RV facility they are building. Rob and I meet all the staff there.. about 25 ppl. Then we were handed the truck told where the Hotel was and we were off and checked in to the Hampton Inn. One of the nicest Hotels I have ever stayed in.

Friday... We went back to Post Falls and Meet the owner and his wife. Very nice ppl. He (the owner) took us to Hayden, where they have another facility. Most of the service end of the work comes out of 1 of the 2 locations in Hayden. That is until they Open the new 12 Service bays in post falls in July. They employ around 80 people.

Anyhow, we flew home on Saturday after Rob was offered a job to good to turn down.  He was offered over $20 hour to start (im not saying an exact amount. Cause its Non of your business lol) all his medical paid, and the rest of the family is not much. Also was offered free rent for 6 months to help he and I save money for me to get up there. and All Moving fees covered.

This was just the start!! they Offer great advancement and life long opportunities.
We are very excited in this new adventure!!

whos here, whos listening, who the hell cares is how i feel!!! I cant believe how depressing a place can make you.

frustration

I am so frustrated by the fact that this town has so many people who have nothing better to do then to gossip about others and there kids.
grrr
Makes me so angry.

I love our house its small and quiet and just enough room for all of us. School sucks.. Its full of Drama Queens and want to be's .. So I just try to keep to my self and do my own thing. I have taken 2 tests and got in the 90's so for that i am thankful. Bus is ugh lets not even talk about that. I am pretty sure that i will not be returning in the fall. Way to much drama. I need NO part of the drama...

i cant really describe how i feel. right now. I am sad, frustrated and happy at all the same time. I feel a lost of connection with some of my friends and not sure how to get it back.  I am not sure if i have changed so much that its making it difficult. Idk. Oh well

Rob and I are doing GREAT!!! He is the love of my life and i could not ask for anything more. Seth is now driving. He drives his brothers to school everyday. Alek is doing good and has a cute girlfriend. Rian is just hanging in there and enjoying life.

Now for summer. I cant wait for summer.

A must READ!

ok so moving back to Idaho has been just a little over whelming.

To start:
    The week of January 9th. Wowzzzzaa what a week... Packing and selling and packing and selling. Seeing my friends in Alaska for the last time in a while. (FYI= I sure miss them) Rob quit work just to help me pack. Kids were still in school right up till Friday the 13th.  By Wednesday the 11th we had most everything gone and Rob and I were sleeping on a twin bed. LOL oh my goodness let me tell you it has been a while since we have done that. What good times. :)  On Thursday the 12 we had 22 Flat rate boxes packed along with 2 Small brown boxes from home depot and a Box that contained 3 fishing poles.  LOL if you are counting that is 25 Boxes. We also had 9 pieces of luggage that we had to pay for and 2 carry on bags a piece. So in total that is 19 bags all together. HOLLY MOLLY!!!

   By Friday the 13th we got up normal time (5:30 am and sent kids to school. Rob and I got up and finished the little odds and ends. Went to eat at the lucky wish bone for the last time. And  At 2:30pm Seth got home .... then @ 3:20 Alek was home and @ 4pm Rian was home. Our last time in the apartment.  This has been our home for 7-9 months. In a land that we had never been and a land that has become so familiar  to us, and a place we called home! I was so excited to arrive in this new state and just as excited to leave it. I however did meet some pretty wonderful people and was now so excited to leave them,

   Our flight was @ 1am Alaska time. We landed in SLC @ 7am and sat till almost 8am. Next flight Off to BOI. Landed safe and sound @ 10 am. Off the plane and Off to luggage. Walking Walking forever Walking... and with lots of heavy carry ons I was so tired. Down the stairs and who do I see? April. I have missed her. Oh and off to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, oh yes yummy delicious smores. Oh how i have really missed them so much.

   Things are just not what I thought them to be. Some people that I really thought would be there are not and others are just well we will just leave it at that. So we got back home on Saturday the 14th and Monday the 16th I went into the bus garage and wouldn't you know it I got my job back again lol.. I started work on the 18th and have been working ever since... Crazy.

   Rob is starting up his Own RV mobile business. I am so excited. I know he is great at what he does and have no worries about him doing well.. If I have not said my hubby is wonderful.
We are moving into our NEW duplex this weekend Feb 10 witch just happens so be my birthday. I am excited. It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath with a one care garage. supper cute and now to work on furniture that we need....

Anyhow its late and Im sleepy.. so good night Love you All.

Depression at its best

Sucking it up and trying to get over this depression!! Where's my ruby red slippers?!?!? I want to go back to the land that makes sense and that's full of friends! There's NO PLACE LIKE HOME! No amout of money can replace happiness. I may have said the life was not great there and with some ppl it wasn't. But for the majority, I LOVED MY LIFE IN IDAHO!

Ok, yep I know that things will be great in Alaska, but that does not help the fact that Rob and I are a little home sick and that the traditions that we usually follow at this holiday season can not even come close to doing. We both miss our friends and family. And you are right Nicky, the not being able to jump in a car and go see YOU or any friend of mine or Robs is a HUGE deal!! For him as well as me. Idk only time will tell what we will do, as for today I can remain sad and wish I was near my extended family! Rob when you read this post know I would follow you anywhere! You are my life and my world, but that will not change the fact that I will be home sick and depressed from time to time, and that I will dream of going home. I love you with all that I am and all that I have and that will never change!!! No matter where we live.

Im not going to sit here and say that i am happy and that everything is peachy!! its not!! I am sad, i am depressed. I really wish i could convince Rob to go home and to start his own mobile RV, Lets face it he had tons of customers and people who loved him in southern ID.  I know he could have done well. 

I guess I just dont understand why he Hates southern ID.....I have always thougth a place is as good as you make it. I know how dumb that sounds when I am complaining about AK. BUT BUT BUT,  I have good reason to complain.  

MY HUBBY IS NOT HAPPY HERE AND HE MISSES HIS FRIENDS AND HE MISSES JUST GOING OUT AND HUNTING AND SHOOTING WITH THE KIDS.. 

I can say that i miss that too.  I would be a huge lier if i said i didn't miss my friends.  I miss them so much. 

I miss school. I have no desire to go to school here.. there grants and loans are so hard to get and if i were a native then i would be able to get grants in no time. 

I want to scream and say "hay what about my dream of raising our kids and me going to school. and Him running his own business?"    Why must we be in search of the almighty dollar. I know Mark fired him for NO FREAKING GOOD REASON!!!! How ever lets move on and MOVE BACK. 

'

Im so frustrated!!!!!      Oh yeah and goodie Rob has to either walk to work starting monday or ride his bike.... in the -6 deg weather.... it does not make me happy!!! I will have to walk to the store to get food.  I know I will have a great car in about 6 months. :(  maybe we should just pack it in and say we did the best we could and time to go home.
