Transferred?

Good evening, or, super early morning mdt.

I hope this late-night-note is not completely incoherent, stay tuned to find out.

As I write this I wonder if you’ll be transferred. I don’t remember the sequence but I seem to remember that you would have found out by now. I’ll text you in the morning. We expect full and complete detail. We pray that it will go smoothly and be a positive experience for you.

Picking up where I left off, Friday we took mom’s cousin Rod to see the sights. Uncle Tim came again and he suggested the Hill AFB museum. Of course I quickly agreed so we went up. Rod had bin in the air force, so he gave some interesting insights on the b-52 and the kc-130. We got a tour guide to show us through the first gallery and I was able to glean one new fact about the p-51d mustang relating to the lower air scoop cooling the intercooler for the super charger. Turns out that it was shaped sot that when the cold air entered the chamber it was heated enough that through expansion it actually created enough thrust to make up for 90% of the drag created by the scope itself. Trivial I know, but pretty amazing for tech that’s well over 70 years old. I love that stuff.

After Hill, we stopped by the Utah state capitol. Not sure why other than to avoid paying for parking. I must say that I genuinely enjoyed hanging out with uncle Tim. Rod was nice too, but can that guy talk. By the time we got to grandmas I had one of the worst migraine headaches I’ve ever experienced. Im reluctant to say that it was an exclusive result of the volume, both in quantity and in the physical properties of the talking, but I also cannot rule it out. The Pie Pizza did take the edge off however.

Saturday I just did a few projects around the house. I mounted most of the pictures on the updated adventure wall, I prepped another wall in the basement for paint, and I finally assembled the glass cabinet for my model collection I got for Christmas. I put them in the hallway by the guest room.

Today was a typical church day, but we sustained and set-apart an entire new young women’s organization. Then I did the tithing with Brother Carlson. I got home just in time to change and go to the bergs house for dinner. We had grilled chicken and such. We stayed and chatted till 9pm, your brothers played multiple games of basketball and football. It was really nice to be together.

So, despite the riveting happenings as mentioned above, I feel like I’m in a limbo with no hope that I can tangibly expedite anything regarding the job. I hope to get an offer this week; I hope that I didn’t Biff the PI evaluates to the point of non consideration, I hope I’ve practiced enough faith. I’ve also tried to enjoy my time with your mom and brothers. I’ve tried use some of this time to serve, I hope to have done enough. Mostly I pray, I pray to overcome my fears and doubts, I pray for the good outcome. I search for that affirming feeling during and after prayer, it comes every time I sincerely listen. Fear os still close buy though, I pray not to indulge in it.

I do have another interview with a different company tomorrow via phone call. I really want to cancel it, but it seems premature, I really need to follow up on everything.

My eyes are getting heavy, so I’ll sign off. Please know that we love you,

Pops
