We have tons going on now! For those of you who aren't in the immediate circle of family or noticed my Facebook postings here is an update for you of what has happened in the last two and a half weeks.
Jeff now has a job as a security/emt officer in St. Patrick's hospital in Missoula, Montana and we moved! Jeff got a call a couple weeks ago about a possible job lead from a family friend that was injured and referred Jeff to be his temporary replacement. I guess they take those suggestions and recommendations seriously b/c they offered him a job ASAP, after a few drug tests and phone chats. The position is temporary until January and we'll see what happens after that, but we've been told that other job opportunities will become available in January at the hospital as well.
No sooner had Jeff gotten here that he found, tested, and signed up for a local Paramedic night course. So, Monday and Thursday evenings he goes to class and Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights he goes to work at the hospital. Not too shabby, eh? The course is finished in May, but then clinical and hours will need to be done along with the State and National tests. We are super excited for this progress in attaining Jeff's goal of being a Firefighter.
Wow! It really was a whirl-wind of moving and packing for about a week and a half, but we are here in Montana and doing fine.
With all of this craziness, the boys and I had a day or two to chill and gather up the last things in Vancouver before heading over to Montana. With the help of Jeff's mom Kathy, we had all of the information we needed and contacts to get Calder in kindergarten with only two days missed! We didn't want to get too out of routine with the kids so the boys and I stayed behind to make the transition easier. Calder likes his new class and is making friend fast, but still pretty shy in large gathering situations. He is #14 in his class and gets to go FULL day instead of half like before. He was excited to be able to eat at school and have recess two times a day. He doesn't ride the bus here b/c he would be on it for an entire hour in the morning before school started, so we just drive him the whole 1 mile it is to school and pick him up in the afternoon. The school here is really small and the HS, MS, and Elementary are all in the same campus.
On another side note, Jeff has another interview for a Firefighter position next week in Butte, MT that we just confirmed this morning. I guess some things are stalled in the address change b/c they called to see if Jeff got his letter. Thank goodness that message was relayed in time!
Well that's all I will post for now. I'll add some pictures of a few other things that have happened lately that I didn't get to b/c of the craziness.

YAY!!!!!! I am so so happy for you guys! Wow!!! What a wonderful few weeks you've had. I can't wait to tell Scott, he will be VERY excited for you. So, now the question is this... when Scott gets a chance to call, when should he call and at what number should he call? He really wants to talk to Jeff and after all this good news, it will be an even more fun conversation! YAY!!! I just can't get over how happy I am for you guys! Finally, eh? :) The Lord does answer prayers, but he often lets us learn a little patience along the way. :)
Thank goodness you are all so laid back. I think I would have had an aneurysm.
