Doesn't look like anything grand, huh?? Well, this baby...or a few alot like it, are now our lively-hood! About 6 months ago, we bought 2 of these bad boys and sent them to the oil fields, leased to companies running oil. We played things safe, and David and I both kept our jobs with Idaho Sod....UNTIL NOW!!! After ALOT of thought, prayers, tears, sweat....you name it....we made the decision to give up all that we have known, and start a business!! So....we are now stepping into the world of the self employed! (Sort-of!) We will actually be employed by a large company in North Dakota, while we are working on building our own business. My oldest brother works in North Dakota as a "pusher" or dispatcher running water to the well sites. He knows the ins and outs of the oil biz, and so we teamed up as 'Real Enterprises' and we will be water tycoons?!?
David worked for Idaho Sod for 14 years, and I answered the phones for them for the last 5. While it provided a compfortable living for our family, it came with a price! David worked LONG hours in the summer, and so he missed out on alot of the fun family summer activites! And, I had a phone constantly attatched to my ear!! Aiden will be starting school next year, and summer will be his only time for family vacations, and David and I decided that it was time to make time for what is important! This move will make it so that David is home more, and we may actually get a SUMMER VACATION!!! :)
I have been packing a phone around with me for so long, that it will be an adjustment to just get to be a mom....with no interruptions! I am very excited! Aiden is thrilled that he can have my un-divided attention, and that I won't have to sush him when my phone rings!
So, here's to a new chapter! Here's to a new way of life for us!
