Twists and Turns of Life.....

Basically this information in this particular post is to inform the "kids" in our lives I'm considering taking a position in Western Australia.
I could take Mom along as well but think what we will likely do is keep the current approach of she can come see me when she wants but basically run around the states visiting the children and family.
The job is pretty much right up my alley in as much as it's a power plant position but there are some curves and twists I need to have explained a little more in depth.....one that really intrigues me is the possibility of gaining Australian citizenship after being there for 2 years.....

If I were to stay on Kwaj I have agreed to run for president of the Scuba Club again....but let's see....fishing and diving in Australia???? Come On.....I'd be silly to pass that up!!!!!
So.....my resume goes out tomorrow and we'll then have to wait and see what transpires.....I think I want to do this since I can't get accompanied status here and if in Oz then Mom isn't limited to "60 days a year to visit".
If you're reading this and you're one of our children....I'm working Fri-Sunday this week!
KSC is having an Easter Egg hunt @ the beach on Sunday......50 silver dollars in eggs for the kids and 2 different eggs will have a token for savings bonds....one for 50 bucks and the other for 100 bucks.....looks to be lots of fun.....so thankful for the members that stepped forward to pick this up as I had to schedule myself to work......hope we get LOTS of pics taken...speaking of pics...BETH!!! you need to be sending me some pics that were taken in Texas when all the boys were in Texas together young lady!
I'm out of here for now.....trying to post more pften but due to work and KSC presidential duties lately....kinda BUSY!!!!
Love to all!

WORRY??? WHY??? NOT a positive venture

Ok here goes with a new post for those whom happen to be watching and reading our little info on the blog.....I'm not a big fan of Joyce Meyer's but happened to stumble over her broadcast yesterday while channel surfing locally....those of you whom don't know this Ms. Meyers is a minister.....anyhow...her topic yesterday was "Worry" ...and it caught my attention due to the fact I don't worry about many things.....there are however folks in our lives who tend to worry about everything....therefore I felt compelled to listen and watch the sermon.....basically she said....if you can fix it...then by all means....fix it....if you can't fix it why do you let it bother you?
SO if something is "out of YOUR control" let it GO......enough of the preaching today....
Was fishing yesterday and had a great time w/ my buddies Bill Hahn & CHris Provolt....we caught 3 Mahi {I lost one @ the boat}...we defeated a shark for one of the others...CHris was keeping the shark @ "oars length" while I reached into the water and saved the Mahi from the shark for us to have for dinner......the Mahi just couldn't win on that one!
David is getting closer to time to get home from the sandbox.....
Scott should be hearing when he goes into OTS soon....
Chris & DD are well and looking forward to a visit from Mom(Lexy).
I had a message from Grandmother telling me she sent me an email a couple of days ago....still no email....wonder who actually got it? :)
For the members of the family who don't yet know....Lexy gave her 90 day notice and will be returning to Texas soon....and plans on visiting all of the different family members since we've been overseas for such a long time.....get ready.....who knows where she'll be headed first although I strongly suspect ALL of our children will be getting visits "very soon".....and if you happened to have the makings for Mulligan Stew and Carrot Cake on hand when Mom shows up..... LOL....
almost work time so I must prepare for the day.....Love to all!
