Wonderful News!

My husband has been testing with many different valley fire departments for our whole married life. Time after time, he received rejection letters. We know it is really hard to get on with any department, and it really comes down to politics when they hire. Meaning, you have to know the right people in order to get a job. Well, on Wednesday the 5th, Skylar received a phone call from the Tempe Fire Chief, and he offered Skylar a job! Skylar was not expecting a call because he had gone thru the whole process with Tempe a year and a half ago and was put on their list that lasts two years. Anyway, he has to pass a CPAT (physical agility test), a physical from a DR. and a background check before he can start the academy in February! We are so excited to start this new adventure in our lives. It about time! So, pending those few tests that have to happen, Skylar will be a firefighter! This blessing couldn't have come at a better time. We are truly blessed!
