Just an update

Hello guys and gals, thought I'd drop in and give an update to the current situation in the Jones world.

Got here and hit the street handing out resumes and filling apps, had 5 job offers and narrowed it down to 2 places I really liked, was looking really hard at both of them until one called and offered me a really good wage and tool bonus so I took it, went and took the drug test and I will start with them in a week or so.

Went lookin for houses to rent and found a few I liked then found one that the wife and I both loved so I put money down on it and it's ours. The place I started with says I can take up to a week off if I need to head back down there and get the wife and kids so that will probly be in 2-3 weeks.

Below is a link to the pictures of the house and be sure to check out the garage!!
