After a year and a half of trying to convince my youngest sister to move to Florida Tracy and I finally persuaded her in January! So Becky drove herself down here and got to work on finding a job, well things didnt go as planned. Instead of finding a job in Florida she found a job with Norwegian Cruise Lines in Hawaii! NCL held open interviews in Orlando in Febuary and Becky went because the idea of working in Hawaii sounded pretty amazing and she got hired! I have to say that while I'm sad that it will take her away from us, I'm still really excited for her! She'll be bussing tables at first but there's tons of room to move up in the company, they'll pay for her to go to college and she gets to see Hawaii! Oh and they offer family discounts but really I'm excited for Becky, not the future cruise I'm going to go on. :) Anyway, she has to get a few things in order before she heads off to Hawaii for her first 4 month term "at sea" so she needed to go back to Michigan. Two weeks ago she was getting ready to pack her stuff up and drive back home when we woke up one morning and her car was gone! It was such a surreal feeling, at first we went outside and looked up and down the street thinking we must have forgotten where she parked it but no such luck, it was definitely stolen. We called the police who werent very hopeful that we would find it but they took the report and told us to wait. Well, a couple days went by and at this point we realized we needed to come up with a new plan. Well, it just worked out that we're wanting to buy a truck (at least thats Jed's plan for right now) and get rid of our car so we offered to sell it to Becky. Since she's always dreamed of cruising around in a sweet, four door, white, Taurus she jumped at the chance. :) It took a while to work out all the details but as of Monday she was set to go and then she got the call from the cops, they had found her car. Sadly everything under the hood was gone but the good news was that all her personal stuff was still inside. We went over to get her stuff and we found a creepy note from the car theif.
This is in reference to the fact that she had bank statements in her car. I grabbed the shifter handle that I found in her backseat for a keepsake.
Anyway, she took off on Tuesday morning for home and we miss her! Evan keeps asking when she's coming back and it was strangely quiet yesterday without her. Hopefully we'll get a chance to visit her in Hawaii! Love ya sis!
Yesterday Evan was impressing me with his writing skills. Check out his first ever attempts at his name.
Its not perfect but its a great start!&
