For any of you who didn't know Greg is currently in training to become an engineer with the railroad. He started it in December with 3 weeks of classroom training. Now he is in the "on the job" mode of training, or in R.R. terms a fireman. He completed his first 30 trips to El Paso and is now working on his 30 to Yuma. Once he completes this he will then go to SLC for 3 weeks of training/testing on a simulator. Lots of fun. By the time he is done he will have his engineers license. Now its more of a drivers permit for trains. The hardest part of this job is knowing that if you fail any test or exam you lose your job completely. He would not be allowed to go back to being a conductor. He would just have to walk away from it all. No pressure...huh? Thankfully he is doing great and having a wonderful time with it all. I am very proud of him.

cool pictures. I hope that it is going good. Have you had your weekend with dad yet?
Love ya, Chrissy
By the way, that's him climbing onto the train. He forgot something he needed for work so we got to go on a fieldtrip to see him. The kids love it. Anytime we see a train they ask if that's daddy's train, even if daddy is with us. Lots of fun!
Wow! Good luck! I know that he will do great!
