It's official- Ben received an offer letter from National Oilwell Varco. It's a down hole drilling company that sells the drill bits to the oil rigs. It's such a great opportunity to advance our family and live a little less close to paychecks.
The downside we are moving to west Virginia.
What?! Yep, you read it right. West Virginia. You know 2100 miles to the east?
It's a wonderful and fun adventure for our family to live so close to things like our nations capital, a trip to new York is like a trip to Salt Lake. But what about our families? What are all the fun things we are going to miss. CornFest, 24th of July parades, Mother's Day and Father's day as well as family birthday parties. And vice versa they won't be with us for ours.
Its OK though right? Technology has afforded us with so many ways to communicate now.
It will be hard but worth it in the end.
Ben will fly out on Sunday May 10th and will start work the following day. He will find us a home and work for 3 or 4 weeks, fly back, and then we will start our cross country road trip.
