6 Weeks is a Long Time

I haven't brought up anything with Lee and his job in my blogs, but Lee is once again starting a new job. The place he just went to was doing things that were not above board and he has departed from there. He worked really hard before the other job and after it to get a job with Catina Laredo and he was offered the job on Thursday. It is an upscale southwestern restaurant in Sandestin here. The corporation also owns Spaghetti Warehouse and some other concepts. The restaurant has not opened yet but will open in early May.

Lee leaves us on Sunday to drive out to Dallas for 6 weeks of training. Six long weeks. He won't come home at all during his stay out there. I know I'll miss him, but the kids will miss him terribly. It's also going to be trying on me because I have a ton of stuff going on with work and we're moving offices on 4/1. Yes, lots of fun. He'll miss my birthday and Easter but I know in the long run it's best for him.

I am excited about his opportunity with them. It's a really good company and out of 22 local people they interview he is the only one who made it to the 2nd round. He made it and I'm so proud of him. Another guy coming to the restaurant is from Tallahassee. He has a 7 year old son who is also in 1st grade. I think they are going to be in shock when they see the price of houses. Lee has already prepared them for it as much as he can. There are a some houses for rent behind us and I think that 2 of the guys might end up renting at first there. It's close to the restaurant and brand new and reasonably priced. Who knows.

So it's going to be a long 6 weeks. We'll see how it goes.
