Got a call from my son today. I had never heard him sound so thrilled as i did tonight. He told me he had received an email from USAA asking him if he would be willing to have them fly him to San Antonio, Texas for an interview. He had applied for a position with them at a BYU career day fair. He was called back for an interview and told they would let him know.
Today he got an email asking him to respond if he would like to have them fly him to San Antonio and put him up for 2 days. Of course he called them right away and said yes. So he is now waiting for his intineray. To top off the great news, his best buddy in his studies, one with whom he has worked on projects for the last 2 years also got the email. They will be flying down together. Now Robert wants to work for USAA and live here so he is going crazy with hope. His buddy, well, his wife wants to move to San Antonio and has wanted to for some time!
So even as we at home have been throwing up, starting first with Lianna Tuesday, then Steven the dad today. He called from work saying they were sending him home as he was throwing up. Being alone with the baby, Sophie, I placed her in her car seat and went to pick him up and she started doing the same thing. Had to stop and make sure she was ok. Cleaned her up best I could and pick up the dad and got back home. Now I am feeling like I may have to hug the pot tonight. Lianna was well the next day, hoping we all just have it for one day. Anyway, even with that, we are all very happy for Robert. He has worked hard and long for his dream.
His other hopes, # 2 Exon Mobil in Houston, Tx and last, Wal-mart in Bentenville, Arkansa. They all offere hope and "will let you know soon"

That's exciting. I think I missed the part where he got married. I remember him going to Mexico to visit with a beautiful young lady. Are they now married?
HI Maren, no, not married yet. His buddy from the Y is married and his wife wants to move to SA. thanks for the comment
Great news, Lee! I hope everything works out for him. Are there wedding plans as well?
Hope you are feeling better. Nothing worse than the flu. Blech.
It is neat to see hard work, and goals paying off. I certainly hope it works out, like they want it to.
How neat is that.
Life marches on doesn't it? Whether we are ready or not.
