Merry Christmas!

We had a really wonderful Christmas. I am so thankful for all of our friends and family and the time we got to spend together! Hard to believe that another Christmas has come and gone. Time really flies! Nothing really new with adoption stuff. We haven't even began the mound of home study paper work yet because of how quickly the process is and how little we have to pay the fees as of right now. I was hoping that we would get that started in Jan., but not sure how that is going to happen. I do have faith that if it is meant to be God will provide. He did last time!

We did get some exciting news though! Ryan passed his Captain's test! I am so proud of him! This was the first time he took the test and he decided pretty late to take it and start studying. He has another round of testing in the end of January which will rank him as far as hiring for the position goes. So, it looks like for now he will stay in the training department (his Mon- Fri schedule) so he can continue to work towards taking the required classes to promote in a reasonable amount of time. Excited to see what God has in store for Ryan in his career. I think he will make an amazing Captain. We should know more in the next few months.
