at Xander.com. So my wife and I, when we got married, we started traveling in the oil field working

0:13.8

and started out making $20 an hour or whatever and, you have moved to this job moved to that job all over

0:21.5

the country about eight times uh we're 27 now we started when we were about 19 and uh in that you know

0:30.2

comes moving and keeping and we have kids we have two children so we've been keeping them away from
