Lifestyles of the Lees

Well this week has been mostly uneventful... oh wait, our life is never uneventful! Bo started his new job this week, and he is really liking it. He is working on a crew with 3 other guys; they are all Linemen already so he is learning lots. Looking back on the past year has just really blown us away. It was just a little more than a year ago that were contemplating on what to do with our life. Then one day we were looking at job websites as we did quite frequently and we saw a posting for a Lineman which was always on there because they are always in need of them and we thought, "Hey, Bo could do that." So we went into researching Line schools and our life hasn't been the same since. Keep in mind that this was just a few weeks before school was going to start. Things just fell into place, I don't know how, I don't know why but they did. Bo really liked school, even though he won't admit it. I think it made him feel good about himself. He had to take 2 English classes; after not really have a good English teacher in High School and not liking the subject all together, he did really well. He also had to take 2 Math classes; I think he was surprised at how much he had forgotten since High School. He made some really good friends in his Line classes. They actually still check in on each other, so many of them talk that the gossip gets around the loop fast. Once we got to May after graduation life hasn't been cake either. After accepting a job in Utah, having it be a bad situation, ending up in Holbrook; life has been an adventure. We were in Holbrook for just over 3 months and we had quite a few crazy things happen to us. First of all, no job. Then, no job. It was so frustrating to feel like school had been so right, and then nothing worked out. I think we just needed to learn a little patience. It's not an easy thing to learn. We also needed to have the right job come around and work out. Now, thinking back on our time in Holbrook it was really good to get to spend so much time with family. My parents were just great, seeing as how we were living with them. We got to see Bo's parents, brother and sister a lot too. We were there for a couple of get-togethers like birthdays and such. Boo really got to know her grandparents, she misses them. She also got to spend a lot of time with her 3 cousins in Joe City. She learned to say their names, and would beg to go see them, it was cute. We also have a couple of families up there that we call our own, and it was really nice to get to spend time with them as well. All in all, Boo got spoiled with attention so much that she is crawling at my feet now! And now that we are gone, we miss everyone up there. Now on to how we are, we finally have the internet. YEAH! You wouldn't believe how much you rely on the internet until you don't have it. I don't worry about my bank account, until I don't have the ability to check it. My email doesn't usually interest me, until I can't check it! Even Bo missed it, he has an I-Pod and he has been wanting to upload more songs, but can't without the internet. So, here we are. We haven't quite finished moving in, but it will do for now. Bo has found out with his job that there is a really good chance that he will be moved from Willcox at about his 6-month mark. So, into limbo we go again. He has about an hour commute, so once we find out where he will be it will be nice to move a little closer to his job, but in the mean time I'm enjoying being by a Wal-mart again. Boo is talking more and more everyday! She is in a phase now where she repeats EVERYTHING! And I mean, everything. I know it's because she's trying to learn words, but it gets old... fast. It's still pretty hot down here so, going to the park is hard. By the time we get moving in the morning, it's too hot and by the time it cools down Bo is home and it's time for dinner. Good thing we are going to go to Holbrook in a couple weeks, Grandma can take her to the park like old times! :) Other than that, life it peachy....
