I can not believe that 2009 is over. It feels like yesterday it was 2009 & I was thinking where 2008 went. My oh my, times goes by fast. People say it goes by faster when you have children. Crazy. A lot has happened in 2009 & can't believe it is over. It all started out with a huge question of doing IVF or continuing w/adoption. We did IVF & failed. In fact in church today I thought about it & if it worked I would be due this month in a couple of days. So IVF didn't work & we continued to do adoption. We did have a birth mother chose us, but that fell through. Now we wait & wait some more. They say it can take 1-2 yrs. Hopefully not that long but you never know. We went on a cruise & enjoyed every minute of it. We have been blessed. Brad was able to get transferred to the Eagle River FedEx office & it has been a learning experience for him. He now has to work customer service. Good thing he is a gentle & patient person. I continue to work at AFOC. That was our 2009.
2010 year hopefully will be another blessed year. One major thing that will be happening is: Boise Fire Department is hiring. Yes IDAHO!!! Nuts I know. We happened to be looking at fire departments in the lower 48 & Brad said lets look up Boise. We did & low & behold they are hiring in 2010. He will be going down in May to take a test. If he passes the test then he will fill out the application. It is a different application process then Anchorage, but just as stressful. It is scary to think that we could be moving, but still it is a ways off. We thought about it & know this is a path that he needs to pursue. If he does make it, the academy is 4.5 months & then he is on probation until his one year mark. I will not go down or sell the house until he has completed the 4.5 months of training. Mostly, because anything can happen. He could brake his ankle & there we are in ID trying to figure out what to do. Brad's response to that is: There FedEx in ID. I laughed. But that is going to be our big project on 2010. If he make it, I picture myself being in AK for at least another year & half. We will continue to pray for a baby & hope that it happens soon.
We know the Lord has his hand in all things & are very grateful for Him. We excited for what 2010 brings us & we will continue to update you on our comings & goings. We pray that you have an amazing 2010.
