The first part of September, Blair received a phone call from a friend of his that works for Idaho Power. He told him how the positions in Twin Falls, ID were re-opened to applicants because apparently they didn't like any of the candidates they got from the first time they posted the position.
We had decided not to apply the first time for a few reasons. Blair was having computer problems with his application, we had just been in Thermopolis a little over a year and I felt we owed High Plains more of his time. I had just started working prn for the local hospital, we were having a baby soon, and I loved our friends here. All this going on we decided not to apply. When we got the phone call from his friend telling him he should apply and he's already told the foreman about Blair, we decided we better put his application in. (Blair said he had been kicking himself for not applying the first time anyway.) Well within a few days he had done a phone interview with Idaho Power, few days later he was on his way for a face-to-face interview and skills test. The day after getting home from his interview he was called and offered a position on the Twin Falls crew. We accepted and set a start date of October 13th. That means we would be moving back to Idaho about a week and half after I had the baby. Talk about crazy. New baby, New job, and major move. It was pretty stressful for a few weeks while all this was going on but we got it done. Excited to be closer to family but sad to leave our friends, home, and school for the kids.
