Well, after six months of begging me to post something I guess I am finally caving into Ruth’s request. It is 1:30 AM and I am sitting at work and trying to stay awake. Thank goodness for Dr. Pepper (Sorry Ruth I bought a 1 liter) and Reese’s Candy. I had to come in and do some personal air monitoring, looking for arsenic, on a couple folks that only work at night. It’s not hard, just weird to be at work in the middle of the night. I don’t have to do this very often; in fact, I hope I only have to do it about once a year.
First of all, I guess I should do the usual thing that every husband has done on every blog I have seen. I want to tell my wife that I love her. I’m not just writing it because everyone else does, but I really mean it.
We have recently moved into our own home (pics coming soon once the remodeling is done and if we can find our camera) and as I was putting some stuff away the other day and came across a few of Ruth’s journals (Sorry Ruthie, I read a little bit). I read a little from the one she was writing when we first started dating. As I recall, it was just the infancy of our relationship. In fact I don’t think we had even thought or talked of dating. But the things she wrote about her and I, and the things that we had done together to that point, just made me smile (and maybe tear up a little bit).
I then grabbed the journal from about a year ago when we first got married and I could not believe the things she wrote! I could just tell that she was so happy to find me, a small town farm boy from Central Utah. Well, we have been married for a year now, and I can still tell that she loves this small town farm boy just as much as she did then. There is nothing else I want to do more than be with her as much as I can. I know we have are little disagreements (I still think the dishwasher needs to be loaded a certain way, and she thinks I’m going bald), but there is no one else I would want to be with. It was an amazing thing when I met Ruth. She was all I thought about. How can I make her happy? What does she need? Can I talk her into marrying me:)? Let me tell you this. Everything has turned out perfect and I still think constantly about how I can make her happy. Usually it only takes me doing something really nerdy (Sorry, but the inner pro dancer comes out of me sometimes), or a little kiss on the fore head (Note: I also kiss her on the lips, but didn’t want to grouse any children out!?!?). In fact things have turned out better than I had ever thought. So, once again, thanks for everything Ruthie and I luv ya!
For those of you that don’t know, I work for Rio Tinto at the Kennecott Refinery. The company announced last month that there would be some layoffs and I was getting pretty nervous. They are getting rid of 5,500 employees worldwide because of the downturn in the economy. When copper is close to $4 a pound one month and goes to $1.20 the next, you know a mining company had to start thinking about cutting back. Anyway, I’m still not sure if I will have a job after the 1st quarter ’09, but my supervisor assures me that my position is needed and will hopefully not be cut. I’m hopeful and praying that I can stay.
Well, I best be gettin back to work, the Dr. Pepper is kickin in and I need to change out some samples before the sugar rush wears off.
