Visitation Rights are Over

When we decided to purchase our home we didn't think it would be too hard for Jimmie to find a job in Utah. It has been practically impossible for him to find something he would enjoy doing in this state. (I think he's just too dang picky!) Everyone that knows him well knows this is true!

Then one day he was sitting in the airport talking to me on the phone when an man who seems to not mind his own business was listening in our conversation. (How rude.) He was polite enough to wait until Jimmie was done talking to me first to inform him of his listening in. He asked Jimmie if he worked for Disney and Jimmie stared at him oddly as he said yes. The guy happens to be a V.P. of Technology for Disney's game company in Utah. Wow, what a coincidence. Jimmie's thought was "want to give me a job?" He asked Jimmie what he does and so he proceeded to tell him in artistic language. (It is amazing that artists can do something wonderful like make a full length animated movie but they can't use words known in the dictionary such as painterly. What the heck does painterly mean?) Oh well, so what he has been doing for Disney's Feature department is exactly what they are looking for someone to do in the gaming company.

Two months later after a 4 hour interview, tons of "remember me" emails, and "where are we at" phone calls they realized the only way to get him to stop was to hire him. :) But truly, he received a job offer which I forced him to accept and now I can no longer claim that we are "separated" like I have for the past year and a half. (Can I claim being separated on taxes?)

We are really glad he will be here to see the kids accomplishments, we will no longer get sea sickness from watching the video tapes of their school events, and Paxton will no longer think his Daddy works at the airport. The only down side of the whole thing is now we'll have to eat all the food groups instead of just eggo waffles, Mac & Cheese, and hot dogs for dinner. Oh well, it's worth the sacrifice.
