Are there any females that work in the oil rig industry? How hard are the conditions? How long to you plan to work there? Its such a physical demanding job-one must be in top shape?
Kilee Rainbow, I just started watching your vlogs and have really enjoyed them. My husband and I both work in the oil field in West Texas as sand coordinators. We work 28 on and 14 off and super fortunate to work together for the same company and have the same schedule. We have gone through military deployments together before we joined the oil field life and it’s really good to be supportive of each other. Keep up the videos and Tim, if I see you on location there will be a steak on the grill with your name on it!
Kilee Rainbow hey kilee, so my husband just told me he had a couple opportunities in Destin Florida so he wanted us to all move. But my family and shop are all here in North Carolina and my 4 year old daughter is super close to my parents. And we just had a baby and she is only two months old. We are thinking why can’t we have both the shop and the business in Florida but to be able to do that he has to live there and possibly come home once a month probably for one week. It broke my heart when he told me this, because I’m so worried that he won’t see our kids really grow. I’m also worried about us growing as a married couple, i know it’s going to suck. I hope you can give me some advice, thank you.
My husband will be here in 2 days!!! We've been apart since March. I am 38 weeks pregnant and I'll be having my csection on the 31st. But he'll be here for 42 days! I hope we'll be able to do fun things even though I'll be recovering.
I always say that I wouldn’t be able to do a long distance relationship but I guess you just do what you need to do eh! Keep up the great work. You do a great job!
Im the first! Great video- my bf is at Marine BCT- 3 months (San Diego, I’m in MN)& he cannot bring his cell!!! Then he is home for 10 days & gone AIT training in Pensacola, for 400 days! I just started my dream job as admin for a State Dept! I’m a Army Veteran ( he is 15 yrs younger). Needed it so much!! Thank you for sharing! Hard to talk about personal/private stuff. Is your Instagram down? Know you have been busy but u take great pics & post fun stuff!! Thanks again for the Advise!🤩🌞🌸🧚♂️
My wife and I have been on a long distance relationship for two years now. She's in Mexico and I'm in Colorado. I tried to go see her every couple months for at least 10 days. It is hard to part away. Hoping she can be here in a year or so. Immigration process is very slow
We may possibly be a long distance marriage because my husband got an offer in a different state. It's only a 3 hour drive so we can probably meet on weekends, but I think it will still be hard. We are in the contemplating stage right now, because his pay will be better but we have to take into consideration the extra expense of having 2 places to live, different taxes, and opportunity costs. How did you guys weigh the financial pros and cons? I think if it was a significant bump vs a job he can find near us now it would be easy the the bump will be just enough to support him living in a different state so it's a bit difficult to choose. Also, do you guys worry about any affairs when apart? I loved your thinking at the end that you both recognize it's as hard as it is for the other person, just different. Looks like you guys have a good relationship :)
hi! for Tims job, he is provided housing. if we had to do housing there it probably wouldn't be worth it. his job pays double what he would make here though! so even having to buy the plane tickets is worth it. we dont worry about affairs. if I did I wouldn't be married to him. not to mention he doesn't have any time when he's there and i think we both feel secure in our relationship so we dont have to worry! I think its important to make sure of that before committing to any kind of long distance job.
I’m always amazed by how nicely everyone’s paintings turn out at those events! By the way, love your striped shirt that you wore in your previous vlog - where did you get it?
Kilee Rainbow I’ve been hesitant to ask this but why is it so challenging for Tim to find an equally good job and/or one with the same pay, in Florida or NC? In the part of Canada where I am, there are very few fields where finding a job would be nearly impossible and that such a long distance would be required. Hope you don’t mind me asking this, I’ve just always been confused about this when watching your vlogs.
Honestly, the oilfield just pays really really well. He makes significantly more than we would make both working as restaurant managers (or any other job) here or in NC. Because the oil industry is location specific there’s nothing like it in NC or FL. He would have to leave the industry to work in Florida or NC & in the long run if he puts in the work now he can work up to a position that pays even better & requires less time working (for example 2 weeks working/2 weeks off is a common schedule in the industry also) honestly the job market in NC (& here in Florida) is not that great. Especially in Florida, the pay is low based on the cost of living & there aren’t many good jobs here unless you want to work in tourism. It’s the ultimate goal for him to eventually work a different schedule or do something closer to home once he has more experience that can be used in other industries.
I know people also wonder why we don’t move to Texas then, if that’s the only place for this job, but because of the success of the oilfield in west Texas the cost of living there is very very high. He also moves around often so there’s not much of a chance he would even be able to come home if we did live out there.
Kilee Rainbow Thanks for explaining 😊 Hopefully Tim is able to get to a point soon where he is able to get a 2 week on 2 week off schedule! That doesn’t seem too bad. I remember you explaining why moving to Texas wouldn’t be the best decision and I completely see your point on that. It will be nice for you to be closer to friends and family in NC. Tim’s grandma is superwoman if she is taking Kali on a flight all by herself (how long will the flight be?). My parents are quite involved with my kids and even my mom who is super grandma, would probably be too nervous to take my almost 2 year old on a plane alone 😆 My 4 year old she would be able to handle though.

Do you have any questions for a husband Q&A next month?
Are there any females that work in the oil rig industry? How hard are the conditions? How long to you plan to work there? Its such a physical demanding job-one must be in top shape?
What does he do in his downtime? Do you reccomend the job/industry?

My husband is a pilot on a towboat. Gone 28 days and home 28 days. Its hard but when he’s home it’s great and we wouldn’t change a thing.
Yes the time home is so awesome!
My husband will be here in 2 days!!! We've been apart since March. I am 38 weeks pregnant and I'll be having my csection on the 31st. But he'll be here for 42 days! I hope we'll be able to do fun things even though I'll be recovering.
That’s so exciting!! Congrats!!
I always say that I wouldn’t be able to do a long distance relationship but I guess you just do what you need to do eh!
Keep up the great work. You do a great job!
Thank you! I try to look at it as setting us up for success in the future!
I totally respect that. You are looking at your glass half full! 👏

Congrats on your job! My IG should be working! Go check to be sure you can still see everything ❤️
@@KileeRainbow not working- too bad.
That’s very strange, no one else has said anything! instagram.com/kileerainbow
@@KileeRainbow Caz they are certain settings that were set by someone
You should write his drill Seargent and ask him to kiss your man goodnight for you when he tucks him in and reads a bedtime story.

My husband is in Mexico too. Where are you at in the immigration process?
Want me to wash your balls?? omg so funny !! Love that your Dad got you the gift card for that place!! I’m sure he’s smiling down!! Great vlog 👏🏼👏🏼
Yes definitely! Can’t wait to hang up the pics in our house 😊
Hope your move to NC goes well! I’ve lived in NC my entire life.. different parts of NC but always in NC!
That’s awesome! I’ve lived in lots of different places in Nc too!

@@KileeRainbow Thanks for the honest answers! Def helps :)
Wow! You two are amazing! Love this!
Aww thank you!
I just love watching your videos! 😊
Thank you for watching!! I’m so glad!
Loved loved this video
Thank you ❤️❤️

Thanks!! It’s from shop I love jewelry! & yes they literally walk you through it step by step! Super easy to follow!

Tim’s grandma is superwoman if she is taking Kali on a flight all by herself (how long will the flight be?). My parents are quite involved with my kids and even my mom who is super grandma, would probably be too nervous to take my almost 2 year old on a plane alone 😆 My 4 year old she would be able to handle though.
Did Tim quit smoking and start vaping?? You guys are so cuye together 💕
Thank you! He did, he’s hoping to eventually quit all together but the vaping is helping!
I have a long distance marriage as well. Haven’t seen my husband for 6 months!
Oh wow - mines not quite like that! Good for y’all staying strong!
How many times in a month is he home ?
It is wonderful to live a married life, but I did not find a suitable partner
How long have y'all been married ?
2 years in August. but we have been together for 6
Make less money; spend more time together.
Are you giving advice or?
That's easy to say. I'm in a situation right now. I can walk out on 18 years and take30% of my pension. Or I can tough it out.
