First Week on the Job

Well the first week on the job has come to an end and I am very glad that it is the weekend and I am able to see my wife and kids!  It has been hard being away from Angie and the munchkins so the hugs and kisses I received as I came through the door were much needed.  I must say that it would be even harder on me if it weren't for the Masters family in Aiken, SC.  They are the family that has graciously opened their house to lodge me while I am in training in Graniteville, SC.  They are great people and I am indebted to them for loving on me while I am away from home and my family.  
I have been learning a ton of stuff at the new job but it has been a bit overwhelming since I have no experience in the field of shipping and receiving.  I am now certified to operate a forklift so if anyone has a lift and needs some stuff moved I am now your man.  I also got to put my newly gained skill to work on outbound (loading trailers) side as well as the inbound (offloading trailers) sides of the facility.  
I thanks you all for your thoughts and prayers for my family and me.  Please know that I love you all very much and covet those prayers.  Just so you know we are surviving and we are excited about what God has in store for us in the next stage of life.
