we have a plan - I think

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel for Erik working in Qatar. It was kinda up in the air - was he coming home in May for good or extending till Nov. The people in Qatar really wanted him to stay and we were really debating it, he would not have missed any more holidays and maybe we could have actually saved some money instead of just paying off the bills. Well we did not have to make the decision, Erik's manager in Texas made it for us. He will not grant permissions for Erik to stay another 6 months. I fully understand that. He either wants Erik back in his position or leave so he can fill the position. Which leads me to assume he actually has jobs for Erik to work on - when Erik left he was having to find his own projects and they were not very good ones. (at least I did not think they were). So now the managers in Qatar are pissed that he is leaving, but at least he is not the one burning the bridges and if a really cool expat job comes up and one of them is the manager over it he has a good chance at getting it. so with all that being said he is coming home next Thursday staying for 2 weeks, back there for 6 weeks, home for 2 back for 3 and done. Then he will take off all of May and half of June before going back to work in New Orleans or where ever they may send him.
Then we found out Erik's brother is getting married - again - but this is the first wedding we are invited to (it is his 3rd) so we are heading to Colorado in May. So we are not rushed we are taking Jaxon out of school 3 days early. I need to talk to a few more people but it looks like the grades have to be in the friday before so I am not sure what they have to do on Monday - wednesday. Well I know Wednesday they only go to school for 2 hours. He may miss awards day, but I do not see him getting any award except honor roll, and that award doesn't even have his name on it.
