When we moved to Boise Todd had a job at the imaging department of Micron. Less than a year into it, they moved the imaging department to San Jose. Well, Todd's wife (cough cough) was REALLY unsupportive of the move, and Todd ended up taking a job at Plexus in Nampa. It was a longer commute, lower pay, worse benefits, and not really what Todd wanted to do, but hey, it kept us in Boise!
Early this summer though Todd came home and told me that he was really unhappy with his job. I felt bad for two reasons....The first being I just felt bad that he didn't like his job. That can't be fun. And the second is because I didn't really know he was so unhappy. Sure, I knew it wasn't his dream job; but I figured he was happy enough there. Wrong.
I figured he would start looking for other opportunities to apply for, when all of the sudden his old boss from Micron called and offered him a job. True Story. It was still a hard decision though. Obviously the whole San Jose thing didn't work out with the crashing economy and all, and the company separated from Micron and moved back to Boise. So Todd and I decided to take a risk, and take this new job. To celebrate this new chapter in our life, Todd cashed out his time off at Plexus and took the 5 of us to a fun filled weekend in McCall!
The girls were beyond thrilled, and got right into the water. They were shivering after an hour or so, but still wouldn't get out. They just love the "beach"!
Ty really didn't like the beach at first, but as you can see below, he changed his mind and ended up loving it!
We also hiked...
and rode our bikes, of course....
and swung at the park...
Sadly though, Bronwyn joined a gang. I was unaware of this life decision until I saw this picture. But it pretty much confirms any fears I had. :)
We really had a great time. And I think it is the first time we have gone on a trip without my mom or Todd's parents! Guess it was about time!
I'm glad Todd took the job at Plexus so your family could stay in Boise--We wouldn't have met otherwise!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at your new job, Todd!
Can't stop laughing!
ReplyDeleteI was like "why did you put that horrible picture of Bronwyn on your post? Then I read what you said and am still laughing.
hahaha
