No job lined up yet, we're still praying about where God wants us. There are so many possibilities! Matthew really wants a job in the police force, but a lot of the positions require a bachelors degree. We're praying about it. If we can find a job that doesn't require a degree, or prior experience, that'd be perfect (and, to be more specific, not in a big city like Denver). If not, we'll take another job that will support us and Matthew will use his GI bill to get a bachelors in Criminal Justice. He's also still working on getting his CDL. There are a couple jobs in Colorado that are hiring, its a city job so the benefits are really good. And by the description, its something he said he'd enjoy.
We're also still looking into buying a house. But its a bit of a process, so we're praying about that too. We can get a VA loan pretty easily, I think. Its just jumping through hoops, paperwork, and of course finding a house. The market is perfect if you're buying though; everything is cheap!
We're still looking in Cheyenne, but we've recently opened our minds a little bit. We're looking Colorado... Anywhere but Denver, really. We applied for a position in Vail, two in Aurora, one in Colorado Springs. We'll just see where God leads us, honestly.
Another option is waiting and applying to the Highway Patrol in April (Wyoming is hiring in April, Colorado isn't hiring until June). Obviously we'd have to take a job until we get on with the highway patrol, if we even get the job.
...There's just so many options, and so much going on. We're exhausted!
But Matthew told me a couple days ago that he's actually excited. It looks like we'll probably be making more once we're out of the military, so that's cool. I'm just glad that he's not so angry about it anymore. I think he's finally moving forward. Its a good thing, trust me.
Abby and I are living out our days pretty normally. Our puppy is a pain in the butt! She barks at everything! And lately she's been laying on the couch. Ugh!
Its bath time here tonight, so I'd better go get Abby out of her highchair before she throws her plate of food on the floor. (Did I mention I made P.F. Chang's Coconut Curry Vegetables for dinner? Yum city!)
We have been so blessed to live here for the first three years of our marriage, and I am so thankful for the relationships we have developed. All of our friends have been so understanding and helpful and encouraging through all of this. Seriously, every person we know here has really helped us through this. We are so thankful for having this experience!
