Value

Hi everyone today I had learned a little about value. Yesterday I had started my new job and today I had meet my big boss I was talking to him about the process that was used whe I was scheduled my interview and the issues I had involved with that, and because of the hiring agent and lack of details about what being sponsored ment and basically we are without benefits for 5 months well this month don't count so 4 months because I don't actually work for RWC yet I work for the hiring agent which is contracted with RWC so I work for the hiring agent which doesn't have benefits of any kind! But I had found out what the company values me! They are paying $50.00 per hour for me to work for them! I told him that I felt like we were getting the raw end of the deal and he told me that's not the way he sees it! He feels he is getting more than they bargained for. It didn't sink in until he walked away about what we talked about and I told him that I had never felt so much respect from a company even before I was employed he then did the official welcome to the company and said we will not let this guy to its an honor to have him aboard! After the 90 contract is up I become an official RWC mechanic! I also work with some great co workers! I am grateful!!!

Wait and See

Hi everyone! Tabitha here! I haven't really said much in a few weeks, but I have something to share today. I wanted to share one of my favorite songs that basically describes my life right now. It's called "Wait and See" by Brandon Heath. It's about how our struggles and confusion in life can bring unseen blessings because Heavenly Father is working in our, whether we recognize it or not. Lately I've been struggling with decisions and figuring out what path I need to take, which for the summer will be taking a break from and focusing on faith, family, and health. My physical, mental, and spiritual health have been suffering lately and I just need time to reset and refocus. Then I'll see what happens. Like the song says, He ain't finished with me yet.

The next journey!

Good evening my friend's!  Today was a great day. I had an interview with RWC International today and had got the job!! I took the job as a Cummins engine specialist, granted it will take time to achieve that title but im in the running for it! They have formal training and when you complete all of the training for each segment they will send me to Los Vegas for the master certification! I get one week personal time off paid per year and if it isn't used it pays put in the form of a bonus on the payday before Christmas and resets on the first of the year! I get one week of vacation per year up to a max of 4 years of vacation after 4 years of service with up to one week of roll over if it's not used, training is online in sections which add up to segments apon completing each section in there is a $0.25 raise and a $75.00 bonus upon completion for each section and there is 17 sections in each segment! And my hourly rate well that don't matter to you! Lets just say it's good! I had also got a length of service raise where I work now and it was a good amount but not enough to keep me working there! Plus health, dental, and 401K benefits!

I know everyone wants us to move but it dont look like were going to anytime soon!

Our next Road to take in life!

Hi everyone  its Brandon we have been trying to figure out what we're going to do for the next portion of our lives, Tabitha's family is going to be moving sooner or later so we've been talking about our options as well. We have been looking at the Oregon area as an option if we had decided to leave Alaska and i had applied to several places there to get an idea of demand and havnt had any calls yet but on Tuesday a recruiting company had got ahold of my resume and put it out and 2 people are interested one they said the managers name is Mike and I'm pretty sure it's Mike from trailer craft and the other one was Joe from RWC, I had meet the face of RWC when he came to visit last week and he had said if he got a hold of my resume I would be the First interview and I didn't believe him but he proved me wrong today, he is my first interview the company pays really well from what I can see! My interview is Friday during lunch!  I wasnt looking for a new job around here but i think god says it's time. I dont like the company that RWC bought out "Cascadia" and the company RWC is having trouble braking that image and is refacing the company now because of it! I think I could help them with that. They have really good benefits and training on the newest equipment and improvements and that's important to me now because stuff is advancing really fast in the diesel field, Tabitha feels like it's time for her to start moving into the role of stay at home wife now because of all the stress that is around right now with her family talking about moving which we know is coming sooner or latter and also the uncertainty of the school district and state right now. I would like to move as well but a part of me says we're not ready so we are as of today going to stay put! There's a lot to process so im going to say goodnight and think about the other half of things I was supposed to tell you because i cant remember them right now!

General Conference: Part 1, Women's Session

Hi everyone! This past weekend, our church held a broadcast meeting for girls and women worldwide. This coming weekend is general conference, a worldwide broadcast where people can hear God's word. I just wanted to share a few thoughts from the women's meeting right now.
I loved that the theme of the meeting was the importance of the family. So much is going on in the world today. There is so much wickedness and the importance of the family is being undermined. People are being ridiculed for wanting to raise up children to the Lord. Children are being viewed as less important than educational or professional opportunities. Parents are having to work long hours just to make ends meet, not being given enough time with their families. It's a difficult time that we are living in, full of trials and confusion.
Many of the speakers talked about defending the family and seeking God's guidance and divine help in helping our families. We need God's help so much.
I am excited to listen to more of conference this weekend and to receive guidance in how to continue to establish a home and family with my husband.

Saturday Update

Good Saturday my Friends! Today Is been A really good calm day! I had got up this morning at 6 and it was to early so I went back to bed and woke up at 8am and had went out side to shovel the driveway and enjoyed my time doing so. I had ended up shoveling my neighbors driveway too,On Thursday my vacation in July was approved and submitted and I personally can't wait!!!!! You all have a good weekend and we will talk to you all latter!

It was a fun thing to do since i really had nothing better to do! but yesterday I had spent half the day at work on the loader scraping the driveway. considering it was the first time I had to actually operate the loader I have to say it wasn't a bad job, needles to say all this snow we got it was a little useless but at least the driveway is smooth now!, Last Wednesday I had 2 molars pulled and had since then really built up and appetite for food. I had also realized that part of the reason for that is that I haven't been able to eat real food or drink anything bad, AKA soda so I'm using this opportunity to take control of my eating habits a little more. I had also learned that Lemonade is good for you but also bad for your teeth, Worse than Soda as far as teeth go but it is good for you vs. soda is bad for you on every aspect. they have had me taking 800mg of Motrin and it really messes me up so yesterday I had cut back on the dose so I felt better and it still does the job that it needs to do but my teeth have been healing nicely. when they had pulled them I had instantly felt better and knew it was going to be a good thing now all i have is some more work to be done and 2 more to be pulled but now it's a money issue because Dental Insurance wamps and will never really be worth buying so I have to pay a lot out of pocket then wait for next year for the last 2 teeth removal. I and Tabitha have some contract cleaning work that we do on Saturdays we just have to wait until after 1pm to go do it and that's what we're doing now, Waiting. it pays good for a few hours of work and helps out a lot at the end of the month.
