Off to Utah in the next week or so. Yeh sorta crazy.

With a lot of stuff in past monthes we considered moving out by my sister an her family for many different reasons. Orginally I an parents weren't gonna move to end of summer at earliest but things lined up for me. I will be moving in the next week or as soon as I finish things here. Parents to follow later on.

I applied for a apprenticeship position in the natural gas field a little while ago. I really didn't think I would get it but its such a blessing I did. I Had two phone interviews, drug an background check an then went out for a interview out there. I got a call Yesterday basically saying when I start. Originally it didn't look like I got it but I did.

Now it comes down to witch tools do I take right away. I will just be driving my pickup out but dads renting a truck when he comes out. Looks like some tools will be in storage for a while until he comes an some will sell.

Congrats! Hope it works out for ya!

A step up for a deserving guy!
I hope you and the family do well in Utah.

Good luck with the move and new job. Be safe. Keep me us posted.

Never been to Utah sounds like fun, good luck at your new job.

Congrats Nola.
You're headed for a whole new world, hopefully not in Tooele though.  There is not a good deli in Tooele, and definitely no really good corned beef or rye bread.  SLC may still have a deli where acceptable corned beef can be found, but it has no Italian restaurants of the old school, you being a kid probably won't miss that though.  Provo has the University and probably still retains that atmosphere.

It's a good place to live and make a living, and unless things have changed considerably there you'll enjoy it.

The Poboys in Utah are sorely lacking.  But good employment opportunities are hard to come by so I wish you well!

Good Luck Nola,
Do keep us posted. I am sure it will go well for you.

good luck to you and your family.  have a safe scenic trip to your new home.

Congratulations,  after what you've been through you need some good luck.  I know you'll do well.  Keep your friends here posted on how things are going.

Thanks guys, great encouragement as always. It's well appreciated. 

It's deffintly a step up. I sort of look at is as a career ime getting into versus just a job I do welding an basic metal fab at. Not just the type of work will be better for me but the company offers good benefits compared to what I have now.

I am gonna miss several people here but that's about it.

On the plus side I got rid of a bunch of tools an my snap on chest an matco service cart. I realized I didn't have time to list them locally on Craigslist an deal with 20 people not showing up, kicking the tires, lowball offers an other random sketchy people. I got my scrap metal an flea market buddy to take them an will give me a great percentage of what he sells them for. Normally i wouldn't do that with people but this guy is one of my best friends an I trust him.

It looks like I will be leaving this Tuesday.

Why am I having a mind picture of Nola crossing the country pulling a high wheeled hand cart full of toolboxes?

Safe travels!
