Change is Inevitable! Some people can't handle change but when your a pipeliners wife you better learn how to embrace it! Let me give you some insight on my world. Mat will come home one day talking about how long a job will last and how many move around we will have to do. The very next day, it seems like even though it probably been a week, he says we may be moving by the end of the week. The end of the week arrives and just when your thinking okay better get the camper ready to go, he calls from work and says never mind where staying put for another month. Then I come to visit my parents and received a call from Mat and the first words out of his mouth is "we have a dilemma". Seriously, what could it freaking be now! So as calmly as can be I say "what now'? Here's how he approached it... "Well, Bucky (a welder) called wanting me to come straw for him 3 hours from Houston. He also says he will work with me daily on my welding so I can test on the job". Bucky knows exactly what to say to hook Mat.... welding and Houston! So where's the job... Tilden, TX... 4 hours and 16 minutes southwest of Houston. 3 hours my a**! Bucky should have just said north an hour from Mexico! Now, being the change adapting wife that I am, points out exactly how far it is from Houston but shows support by letting him know its whatever he thinks is best for our family and will get him the best opportunity to grow in his career towards becoming a welder. At this time I don't know where I will be come April first but I do know this.... I'll be with my hubby in one of the following places: Prague or Atoka, OK, Tilden or what I consider Little Mexico, TX, or Lancaster, OH. All this can change with just a phone call from another welder with a job offer. So can I handle change... Heck Yes... I embrace it!
Good attitude Ashleye.
