Arkansas or Bust!

My husband Matt has gone on to Arkansas for several wks(could be up to 7wks). It all started on Thurs afternoon of last wk(Sept 10th) when a call came thro that Matt didn't recognize the number so he gave me the cell. Oh boy, was that a mistake..a guy was on the cell and asked for Matt and I then asked what was needed and the guy said he had work for Matt and wanted to know if Matt would like to work for him. Ok.. Matt's sitting nxt to me and we both think it's one of the guys from work playing a prank on Matt (which they so love to do!) After a few mins..I hand the phone to Matt and it was the Government calling him, not the guys playing a joke!!!! It seems these guys have been looking for Matt for the last 4months on the word of a guy Matt used to work for in MI...they asked Matt if he wanted to make $20hrly..of course who wouldn't!! Then he's told that if he wants to do this they have work in Mulberry,Arkansas to take trees down in the Ozark National Forest..and it has to be done in the next 7wks,before duck season..coz they flood the area and it's covered in over 20 ft of water. So he left yesterday morning to make an 8hr trip while driving one of the dumptrucks pulling a chipper. Im not sure how we will do w/o him home..but Im excited coz I get to go out in 2wks to spend the wkend w him along with Matt's bestfriends gf(the best friend is out with Matt) so you can say there are two miserable woman missing their men!! :-) Word to the wise...never joke on the phone unless you know who the person is.It all worked out tho, thankfully.
