Once again, Kenny's job has created another move for him. He loves to move to a new jobsite and meet new people and dive into new challenges. I, on the other hand, find it a bit overwhelming. But his love of 'new', makes working with this company the ideal job for him. 
His latest endeavor is in Wood River, IL> He is working on the expansion project at the refinerary there.
About 5 weeks ago we went to St Louis (which is about 23 miles from Wood River, IL) to look for him a place to live. Thanks to Priceline.com we were able to stay at a 4 star hotel in St. Louis for 5 nights while we got to know the area and look for housing for Kenny. It was a great getaway for us.
We finally found an apartment in Edwardsville, IL. It is a nice little place that has a wooded area in the back where Kenny can feed his birds and enjoy viewing some woodland creatures. lol.
I have been able to go up to spend the weekend with Kenny for the past 4 weekends.
The kids are busy with school and their jobs that they haven't been up there yet. But we are all planning on going to spend the weekend the 1st weekend in April. Kenny and I have got to spend some much needed quality time together. This job keeps us apart so much that sometimes we don't get a chance to talk about anything but kids and household matters. But this has allowed us some intimate time where we can talk about other things and get to know each other again. 
Life is definitely good at this point. There was a time a few months ago that I wondered if I would ever feel happy again. But I am now getting used to Jesse being in college and Mason working and being out alot with his friends. In other words, I am embracing my alone time and learning alot about myself.
I will probably stay home this weekend and catch up on some much needed house cleaning.
