Just an update

Hello everyone

this is just an update on what is going on in our family. :)

Jason left for commercial driving school this morning. He starts school on Wednesday and will be there for three weeks, he will come home for one, maybe two days and then will go out on mentor training for six weeks. Depending on the mentor he could be back every weekend or he could be out the entire time. It will be hard but we are very proud of him and he seems very excited about doing this. After he completes all that he starts driving, for SWIFT. There is a member of our church who also drives for SWIFT and asked Jason if he wanted to team drive. This is where they have two drivers per one truck and they take turns driving the load. Which means they can drive longer and drop more loads faster then a solo driver. They get paid more but it is hard to find a partner you can get a long with, so their aren't a whole lot of them. I liked this idea because he won't be alone and get tired, or get robbed by some random person or anything like that...and get this everyone. The guy Jason is going to team with talks more then Jason......no you read that right.....talks MORE then Jason. haha. They are fast becoming good friends and are both excited. It is also good because this guy is big on bike riding and stuff while he is stopped and was wanting to find a team partner he could go to church and the temple with.....I am so excited that we found them. Plus their family is just a hoot. I love his wife and we get along very well! Anyway, once he starts driving with Chris (his real name is Jason but there are so many Jason's in his family and at work he goes by Chris...funny huh?), they will be out for three weeks and then home for one. So I figured it out. We will see Jason around three months a year. It will be hard but I think worth it. So I will keep you updated on that.

I do have to mention that I think our family is unique and handles things in a completely different way then everyone else. An incident happened this weekend in our family....if you didn't know or if she didn't want anyone to know...oops. sorry. :) Rebekah got in a little accident. Ok. I am way understating "Little". She was lucky she walked away, let alone walked away with out braking anything or internal bleeding. After the initial shock of it, and after we found out she was ok and was going to completely heal, we did what we do best. Started joking. Some would call us insensitive, some would just call us down right rude and uncaring. But that is how we cope and it makes life much more bearable at times. We all cried and where worried out of our minds but when we knew everything was going to be ok, we laugh about it. Like for instance - we (our family) play this card game called Killer Bunnies (we got hooked after Deborah and Tyler got us into it). Well Beck was bring home the game (that's what she was doing, driving home) and the bunny game went everywhere.....well the first thing she tells Deborah is " I couldn't save the bunnies" ok....how is that not funny? Then Me, Jason and Reana went and got her a cake that said "you really are superman" on it and we sang Happy Survivor Day (to the tune of Happy Birthday) and celebrated.
Don't get me wrong, our family is very close and we were devastated to find that one of ours was hurt and could have potentially been killed, but she wasn't and we are eternally grateful.
so Beck this blog is dedicated to you. Happy Survivor Day to you and don't ever say I didn't give ya nothing...you've gotten a cake and a blog! Love ya and we are very glad you are still here....even if you didn't save the bunnies. :)
