So JT finally got his offical offer from Boarder Patrol. He reports to his station on Nov 9th. Yuma, AZ. From there he will go to the academy in New Mexico for approximately 5 months. After that I will take the girls and move on down to Yuma where we will live for the next few years!
This has been a crazy couple of years for us! Our adventures started with the Maricopa County (phoenix) Sherrifs department, JT went through the whole hiring process with them right after we were married. When they offered him a job, he turned it down to move to Washington with his prego wife. He tried for about a year and a half to get onto any police departments here in the Seattle area. He was then hired by the King County Sheriffs Department and endured a 6 month long Law Enforcement Academy. Unfortunately JT failed a test and was let go. He then started with King County Corrections 2 months later... endured another Academy (3 months with corrections) and has stayed with that job for a year now. After the Sheriffs dept had let him go JT had applied with the US Boarder Patrol. It took almost a year and a half of hiring process till they offerd him this position.
It has been a roller coaster over the last few years and so I have been VERY reluctant to have JT accept this position. We are finally stable where we are now. I am comfortable and happy where we are now. I just have to have faith that this is the best thing for our future.
Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement! We will miss all of our friends and family here in Washington GREATLY!!! It's sooooo hard to leave!
My blog should be updated almost daily once JT leaves. Sorry if it will be boring to everyone else (you don't HAVE to read it) but it will be the best way for him to get updates from us everyday! This is our new "Adventure" I'm truely scared and excited!
Here is where we will be living! (Green star)
It's approx 2 1/2 hours to San Diego, 3 1/2 hours to Mesa, 4 1/2 hours to Benson and minutes from Mexico. We'd better get our passports!!

Congratulations! It must be such a relief to finally know the details. We'll be here to support you through this Kelsey!
Oh wow. Wait and wait and wait and then BAM - he leaves the 9th? Does he get to come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas? We will keep you occupied until you move! We'll have to do ALOT of sewing :)
Did they give him two choices or just one? Was AZ your geo preference? How long was he waiting in TSU? When did he take the written test? Has he heard anything about the NEW PFT test that is done right before the academy?-Josh
I didn't even know Josh posted all those questions =) I'm happy for you and that your wait is ALMOST over. What a long process! Sorry I couldn't call you back last night. I was hosting a goodbye dinner party for my friend. I will try calling you back on Monday, cause I don't know if Sunday is you family day. Thanks for calling to fill us in! =)
I am so excited for you guys and am excited for you to be little closer to us. Good luck with everything and I know that the lord will continue to bless you. Love you guys!!!
