James update

This post is for everyone who asks about James

It has been a long and hard summer with some fun in between. James left the for Texas April 17th 2008. After two days of driving he arrived in El Paso his home for at least the next 4 months. I was able to visit him a few short weeks later (the end of May, for 5 whole days). He has worked really hard with some ups and downs. Ups-$$$$$$ Downs- missing me and lots of work with little time, sleep and resources to do it. However he has mad it work with many sacrifices and lots of effort. I also visited him in July for 12 days, only to realize this was the last time we would get to see each other until he comes home the first of October. Our summers seem to last a lot longer then any one else's with no spring or fall in between only winter just because of his on and off season. The last week or so has been a really tough one on him with most of his guys leaving to go back to school, trying to close open tickets (problem accounts) from those that have left, trying to find more techs to complete the extended season, close down the office in El Paso to move it to a new city with only 9 hours of sleep in 4 days. I don't know how he did it but he did and he even managed to squeeze in a few phone calls for me. With the car loaded and the big U-haul of equipment and furniture (sales reps slept on the floor for 3 nights waiting for their beds that James was bringing) and techs in tow he was off and moving Sunday 08/24/08 with a 5 hour dive ahead of him. He moved to another city in Texas (Middleton and Odessa farther away from home) he lives in Middleton but will work also in Odessa which is only 15 minutes away. Hope it helps with the gas bill, cross your fingers. He finally got some sleep and now is enjoying life with a service tech in El Paso taking care of those problems and able to do what he loves about his job meeting new people while installing and "taking it easy" if you can call it that considering he still has an office to run.

If he hasn't called you or answered your calls it is not for lack of love or wanting its pure and simple busy. He loves you all and appreciates your phone calls and texts it helps him get through the days. He comes home in 36 days shhhh don't tell him that lets leave it at 5 weeks!!!

Thanks to everyone for their love and support while he is gone it helps my days go faster and smoother. (Holly thanks for the fun and Mom for the phone calls)
