Well, the wedding was fantastic, the Florida honeymoon was fantastic, and married life is treating me well. With that said, I left Schneider after all the wedding hoopla determined to find something closer to home to earn a living.
This has not worked out so well yet...
Work is slim pickins' right now. I had expected this, but not quite to the extent that it really is. I have spent the last month and a half looking for work and have come up dry so far. Even the part time work hasn't panned out yet.
The money is all gone, and thank God Linda is working, because that is the household income at the moment. GRRRR My timing has not been so great for leaving my job, but between the low miles, and the driving to PA to get to my truck, the cost was getting out of control.
I'm determined to be home at night, and not be in a sleeper cab anymore, that is a rough life that I never intended to do forever. Linda and I had agreed to 1yr of over the road driving, and I actually spent 18 months out there, so my objective of OTR experience was fulfilled. The obvious problem now is that the economy is soooo bad that everything is slowing down. No need to preach to the choir about this problem, y'all know the tune!
Anywhoo, I'm getting back to the job searching, and will try to keep the posting updated!

These things have a way of working out. Perhaps this means that it is just time to enjoy being home for a while. The right job will make itself known soon.
It's good to have you back on a full time basis!
Happy to have you home son. Good things happen to good people and you are one of the good ones. Keep your chin up.
Dad
Keep your chin up. You know all the right things to do, and you are doing them. You have a great new family, and they as well as your old one, are supportive and trust that things will work for the best. Can't say that I am unhappy knowing you are near by now.
Love you,
Mom
Having to wait isn't bad. Look how well that wait for the perfect new family turned out. That new job is out there waiting for you, too; it will just take a little time for you and it to find each other. If you had lost hope for a family, where would you be? Times are tough, but you've got lots of support to help you through this idle time.
