Kasey's Big Interview

Today, Kasey had his final interview with ConocoPhillips. He applied for the Instrumentation Technician job they had open back in February. We cancelled our spring break vacation to the Oregon coast because we didn't know what kind of time-line we were looking at; and after not hearing back from them, and our vacation wasn't happening anymore, I thought that I should look for a part-time job to supplement our income while the job market was still very slow here. I started the first of March and then a couple weeks later, he got a call from the company! It was really exciting!

Kasey just figured he needed some more experience and that's why we didn't hear from them. He had a phone interview and Kasey felt that it went really well and that his chances were good, they kept using phrases like, "when you get the job..." After the phone interview, they said it would be a few weeks to a month before he might hear back from them, and if/when he did, it would be between 2 guys - and from there they would do an in-person interview as well as a tour of the plant where he would be working. Well, it didn't take a month, it was only a week before they had contacted him again and had set up the final interview for today!! This picture is us driving up to the plant... Not much to see but a shiny bright future, brought to us by the hardworking man in our lives! Boy, do we LOOOVE our Kasey/Daddy!! :) This place will hopefully be temporary, but you do what you gotta do in order to get your foot in the door!! And anywhere can be home when you are together as a family.

Kasey going into his interview...

The girls and I played on this old train car and at a nearby park while we waited for Kasey's interview to get done. It was pretty cold, so we sat in the car, ate lunch and watched a movie.

This is MY stud husband!! His face totally says, "Oh yeah!! I nailed that interview!!" haha :) Seriously though, he is one accomplished, good-looking man!! Proud wife here, can ya tell?!? Someone from HR will be in contact with him soon to negotiate pay, benefits, and such... And if all goes well, you are looking at the newest Instrumentation Technician for ConocoPhillips!! Way to go babe!!

When we got home, the kiddos and I made homemade cookies before bed. Wow, today was a FABULOUS day!
