Big Changes

Jamie and I decided that after eight years, the Air Force life is not for us any more. Jamie's enlistment ends in September. As I have posted a couple of times, Jamie has been looking for and applying for jobs since the beginning of this year with the hopes of having a job ready for him as soon as possible. He has applied at several fire departments in western Oregon up and down I-5. At the end of May, Jamie interviewed with DPSST, the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, for a fire training coordinator position. They interviewed him and a few others in the morning and called him in the evening. They told him that he was chosen to advance to the next round in the interview process, the background check. After a long, nerve wracking wait, they called last week. They said they completed their investigation and offered him the position, and.....


He accepted!!!!!!!!


We are very excited about this opportunity and are grateful for the way that everything is working out. We are looking forward to being much closer to the kid's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Jamie is also excited that we will be able to live in Jefferson and he can volunteer with the fire department again.
