Well, we've been in San Antonio for almost 5 months now, where in the world has the time gone? I am just about to finish 17 weeks of training at The Hartford Insurance Co. in the commercial department. We graduate this Friday. It's very scarry to know that you will be on the floor taking calls and trying to remember everything you have been taught from the beginning of class. Right now it feels like a huge jumbled mess in my head, but everyone else in the class is saying the same thing. There is so much more to the commercial side than there is to the personal side of Insurance. I am so greatfull to have a job that is so challanging though because it keeps my mind going and processing brain cells...LOL...We are loving Texas.
I love being around my Grandchildren and my Daughters. Kim was able to go thru the temple on July 17th. I'm so proud of her.

Finally Here

We finally made it!! Arrived Sat. evening March 13, the trip had to be the longest ever. Thank heaven's for GPS or we probably would have ended up in New York. LOL. Aside from being long most everything went well.  We almost ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere, thanks to very desprite prayers and a Priesthood blessing, the Lord sent a rancher and 10 gallons of gas so we could make it to the next station.  We had a guardian angel flying with us all the way.  Other than that all was smooth sailing.  Driving a FULL 26ft U-Haul and a car transport was'nt as bad as I had expected.
Kim was offered a job with Nationwide Ins 3 days after arriving and I was offerd a job with The Hartford a couple days ago. Kim started April 5th and I start on May 10th. We had a wonderful Easter weekend with Debbie and family in Austin, watched both sessions of confrence on Sat. Heather & Mark came and we watched the Sun morning session, had lunch then played games the rest of the afternoon, Laughed so hard my sides hurt. Everybody had a great time. We've put a deposit down on a town house just down the road from Heather's can move in 1st of May

Ready to Go

Well, only 2 more weeks and we're off. March 11th is the day. Things are getting fast and furious, you know how things are when it gets so close to final moving day.  We're down to the last things that can't get packed until a day or 2 before, paper plates, plastic cups and forks, trying to empty out the freezer, all we have left in the freezer is chicken so for the next week and a half we'll be trying to find different ways to fix chicken.
Tomarrow is my last day at work, for this day alone it is well worth moving. 
I'm so excited to get to San Antonio where I will have wonderful children and Grand children that are glad to have me around.  Have 2 interviews when I get there for jobs hopefully one pans out and It doesn't take long to start work.
