Shout it from the roof top!

Hallelujah!! I can officially announce..........

That my husband is a PARAMEDIC!! This has been such a journey for him and he has studied his little booty off. Hard work and dedication really does pay off. This is NO ordinary test, there are questions on there designed to throw even the smartest EMT off and make then think, "HUH?" In a way that's a good thing because you want someone who has your life in their hands to know what they are doing but then again when it comes to taking a test that basically determines the future of your career, it's a whole new ball game. He went in to take the test yesterday February 7th, without telling anyone.....but myself. (And I had to pry it out of him) that way, if he did happen to fail, no one would know and he could take it again. Smart guy :-)
Poor guy was so nervous all day yesterday and had his nose in the books. After the test, he was even more of a nervous wreck. He came home talking about how many questions he thought he missed and how some asked information he had never even heard of before and he kept saying he thought he failed. There are only so many encouraging words you can tell someone waiting on results like this! I tried to be supportive and told him not to think like that. That he had put too much time and effort into studying for it not to pay off.

7:00 am results check. He logs in to the website from his phone and just stares...he asks me to read what it said because he couldn't believe it. "Congratulations on passing your National Registry test!" That's all that jumped out at me. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! I cannot express how proud I am of this man. Whatever he puts his mind to, he succeeds :))

 This was Cody's pinning ceremony on February 1st at City Hall. He completed his first year of              probation and is no longer considered a "rookie"

We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do - Ephesians 2:10



We leave for Ruidoso next Friday, just our little guy and us for a little fresh mountain air, snow tubing, shopping and feeding the deer. It couldn't have come at a better time. God is good, all the time!
