Just wanted to thank those for the congrats they left on steph's facebook page, im not necessarily in the clear yet- registering for post just means now i have to pass a very extensive background test and another round of physical tests, i didnt have much time to prep for this round like i did for sandy, so i dont expect to pass as well as i did at the sandy tests, but im confident. after that i have 5 months of training- classes are from 8 to 5 during the week and then i work from 6 to midnight, which is a voluntary cut in work hours, so we get to look forward to no time with the family except weekends and a smaller paycheck- it will definatly test us. then i can only pray the economy picks up enough that the job market will produce a few more open positions. but like i said, im confident and this is the opportunity i've been waiting for.

Yay.
Mike is finally getting into the P.O.S.T. program at Weber State. :)
DWFS has given Mike the grant that will pay for post which is about $4800. Whooo hoo thank heavens for grants. He is already registered for class and the physical testing is on the 28th of this month and class begins on April 6th. (which also happens to be my moms birthday) so that will be a good day. The course runs 5 months and covers both moduels..
Module 1 - Special Functions Officer/Basic Corrections Officer (SFO/BCO) Curriculum provides training for certification as a Special Functions Officer/Auxiliary Officer and Corrections Officer.
Module 2 - Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Curriculum provides the remaining training necessary for certification of an officer with full police powers. [Entry requirements for Module 2 include certification as a Corrections, or Special Functions Officer (completion of Module 1 - SFO/BCO)]
We are very excited that Weber State is offering the combine class. If we went to any other school it would take 10 months.
Good luck babe! We're proud of you

To Davis County we go!
We have decided to move up to Sunset. We found a cute little 2 bed apartment across the freeway from HAFB. It's been an experience to move with two kids, Amanda is so excited to help carry stuff in and put things away. She is such a good little helper. Cameron is into everything. He enjoys the unpacking the boxes to throw things on the ground and laugh.
We decided to move up here because I lost my job at Arrowhead about 3 weeks ago. I wanted to be close to Mindy, I love it up here, Its quiet..except for the humm of the freeway traffic. :)
Mike is still at UPS. We are hoping he is going to get into Weber State this fall so he can complete the POST certification in about 4 months. They only have sign ups twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Since we are self paying (about $5,000 just to sign in) we are aiming for fall.

The sweetest thing
I love those little thing kids do that touch you to your soul.
My little Camo was playing on the couch next to me when out of the blue he comes over to me and grabs my face and gives me the sweetest little kiss and gave me a hug. It made me think with all the stresses that go on in life, this one little innocent act brought me back to realize whats important.
Thank you my sweet little guy. I love you

On his way
I am so excited for my mike. He has passed another part of the hiring process for Sandy City Police. I think he only has one more thing to do and if all goes as planned my love will be a cop by the end of the year.
