YES, we made it home safely! We pulled in at about 3pm to our house on Saturday, August 2nd. It was a long drive, but we broke it up by stopping in Amarillo to stay with Krista's Aunt Yvonnne. We're glad to be back, but we do not like the heat! That's all we'll say about that.

Monday the 4th, I (Lane) began my job hunt. I got an interview on Tuesday with a company called Compressco. (At the beginning of the summer I spoke with a guy there about a job when I got back, so the hunt wasn't too hard.) I was offered the job and I'll start tomorrow morning, August 12th.

I know you're all wondering... what is Compressco? and what will you do? One question at a time, please.
First, Compressco, Inc., a TETRA Technologies Company headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is a leading manufacturer of Production Enhancement Solutions for Marginal and Low Pressure Oil and Gas Wells. (see compressco.com and NO, I didn't write that.) Basically, they sell compressors, called Gas Jack's, that are installed over the top of slow producing or plugged oil wells to get a few more years of oil out of them. Each compressor is portable and affordable.

Second, I will be working with their Inventory Controller (and hopefully be an actual "Inventory Controller" soon) I will be tracking inventory and entering it in the computer and contacting vendors to order more parts. It's a great job with room to go up. The best part is, I can leave all work at work. This would leave me time to work with Compass Wilderness on the weekends and volunteer at a church. So, I'll be working a job and doing ministry at the same time.

Krista has begun work in her school room. It's a little overwhelming, but she's gaining on it! Krista reports on the 18th and school starts on the 21st.

Now, you're up-to-date on the lives of Lane and Krista.
