Workin Man

With the economy on the crapper, Bear's company has kinda slowed down. He is still getting work which has been a HUGE blessing but not what he was used to getting. One of his good friends that is the Chief Firefigther out in Buckeye, told him about a company that was hiring for Fire/EMT. Chief knew the guy that was doing the hiring for the position and put in a good word for Bear. Well it worked and after about 7 months he was "officially" offered the position. He had to wait on his background check, his physical, his stress test, etc results to come back normal and thank goodness they did :] Who knew it would take sooooo long!

He has been working at the job for about a month and a half and its going alright...I wish I could say he loved it but I can't. The one good thing about working here is that most of the guys that are working there part time are full time firefighters for the surrounding cities, so he has been able to become friends with them. But I do know why he is doing it..he is doing it for us. He is doing it because he slowed down in his work so he found something else for the time being to make up for lost jobs. So he works Wed-Fri the 6pm-6am shift and I am NOT a fan of it at all! I have a really hard time sleeping and every little noise I hear I freak out. Hopefully I will get used to it soon! So on his days off his has been doing side jobs during the day, and at night is an assistant instructor at GCC with his friend doing the Fire Fitness class.

So on the weekends he is catching up on his sleep! We do go out once in a while but I try not to complain much about being bored because I know how tired he is and he does deserve a good rest! And sometimes I feel like I never get to see him which has been hard but it has opened my eyes and has made me realize how much I really do need him! I am very grateful for Bear and for all his hard work. I am so very blessed.
