Happy Birthday To Rod!

Today is my darling husband's birthday.

He has a busy day planned.

First he had to go to work.

And then he had to speak to his boss.

And then he had to turn in

his letter of resignation!

Yup.

Rod is changing jobs!

He has been working behind the scenes

for something like 6 months or more

trying to move across the airport

to another company

that builds executive jets.

One of his co-workers moved over there

a year or so ago.

They have remained friends and Chris

has been lobbying and lobbying

to get Rod moved over as well.

Friday while they were at Cow Camp

Rod FINALLY got the phone call

he has been waiting and praying for.

They offered him the job he wants!

YEA!!!!!!

We are all very excited!

It will be a pay increase.

But more importantly,

they have an 

AIR CONDITIONED HANGAR!

It has been really difficult on Rod

to work in the open hangar.

It's easily 100 degrees in there.

(And it gets pretty brisk in there in our "winter".)

Anyhow.

This was a GREAT birthday gift!

Anything we get him will pale in comparison.

(I can't say what it is, because we haven't given

it to him yet... lol)

Anyhow.

He starts his new job in 2 weeks.

On the 28th.

His hours will be 7 - 3:30,

which means I'm going to need to

get up earlier than I have been

in order to get him his breakfast.

He already gets up WAAAAY

before the crack of dawn.
He's not much of a morning sleeper.

(may be why he falls asleep on the 

couch around 9 each evening...)

Anyhow.

This isn't my traditional birthday post.

But this isn't a traditional birthday.

And I've been patiently waiting to share

this news until today.

But I still want him to know how much

I love him.

And how grateful I am that he asked

me to look over his per diem on that 

fateful day 37 years ago.

I love you my darling.

And I'm so proud of the man

you have become.
