You can already guess what I am about to say. Yes, we are staying longer. We had both started packing up and were close to being prepared to pull out tomorrow when Derrick came out and shared wonderful news with us. Before I get to that I will say that they are having a new dishwasher installed next week. Derrick will not be here so we are needed to be around for the installation. So why will Derrick not be here? He just got a job that we are all excited about. He will be managing a 32,000 acre wind farm. Jokingly we are saying he is returning to his farming roots. Red Cedar wind farm only has 397 turbines but they are the super gigantic ones. Derrick will be going to Jonesboro, Arkansas for training next Monday. He will, on this training trip, will be learning what the people he will be supervising are doing. Makes sense he needs to know what they are doing. This job will not require him to climb on towers like IT work does. It is more of an office/managerial job. The pay/benefit package is wonderful and we are as thrilled for him as he is himself. This will make a huge difference in his life and the life of his family. We are happy for him and pleased that his life will be easier. So, we are here. We are starting to view ourselves more as Colorado residents than the gypsies we used to be! The weather should cooperate for a while so we can survive. If we are going to be here that much longer we are going to have to plan some fun things to do. Unfortunately we cannot go to Estes Park because the road was washed away in the September floods. It really is pretty there and we'd love to help the business owners, but we can't.
It goes without saying that all of this means more time with Hannah and we just love that idea.
