And we waited...

So Skip got back Weds from his first round of interviews in Fort Collins, CO. Things went well and they told Skip that they were really impressed with him and that he was on to the next round of interviews and tests. Hip Hip Hooray! but of the waiting is no fun at all! Skip is in the process of filling out the huge background check packet. And once he has that in...then we get to wait to find out when he will go back to Fort Collins for round 2. It is such a long process! We won't know for sure if Skip has gotten the job until the beginning of June. It's crazy how things work. We have been wanting to move out of Florida for a while now. We miss the mountains, friendly people, cold weather and most importantly, My FAMILY! Up until now it hasn't felt like the time is right. But when it came time for us to decide if we should sign another year lease we knew that's not what we wanted to do. We started talking about where we wanted to go, and Fort Collins was the choice. It's a funny one just because neither Skip or I have ever been there. We looked into it and all the timing was right. The police department was hiring right when out lease would be up. Everything seemed like it was going to fall right into place and honestly Colorado is the only other state we want to live in, that feels like where we are to be for the next stage of our lives. Well even though Skip is on to the next round, as time goes on, that feeling of this is all going to work out, starts to fade and all the doubt starts building up. Are we going to serve a life sentence in South Florida- land of the sharp elbows? Or is it still all going to work out and this is a lesson on having Faith and Trusting in Heavenly Father? Personally I'm praying that this is just a lesson and come June I will be packing up and be the road again, off on a new adventure.

I love that you have been missing the cold weather. I am the opposite, I've been dying for WARM weather!!

I'm hoping it's a trial of faith too. I think it's time for you to move. They don't deserve you anymore over there lol
