I got back from Oregon last week where I passed the ORPAT (standardized fitness/obstacle course for Oregon police recruits). I then proceeded to bomb my interview. The interview experience was valuable I'm sure, but I wish I didn't have to have my first oral board in the town that I preferred to move to.

I passed the Oregon City written test, and I'm waiting to hear if I'm going to be invited for an interview. I asked the Corvallis PD to send my information to Roseburg, so I am waiting for an interview there as well.

Jenn and I got to talking about Idaho Falls for some reason, and I checked their website, and their fire department is hiring, or at least they're testing. I'm filling out an application for them.

Our house is pretty much sold. We're going to be moving out during the first week of April. We're kind of sad to leave, it's been a really nice place to live ever since the weirdo neighbors left. Also, with the few improvements we've made to the house, it's starting to look a lot nicer. All that's left to do is pack up and move our stuff into storage. I also need to go up and clean up the swamp cooler, and make sure it's in working order. That would be a lot easier if it would stop snowing already.

My Birthday

OK, so it's not that big of a deal. I turned 32 today. I was just going to let it pass.

But Jenn just told me a story that she says I have to put on my blog. Here it is, from her mouth...

"So Addie says 'Mom, I'm worried about Dad'. 'What do you mean?' 'He only had 3 things today.' 'What are you talking about?' 'He had 1 present, a pie, and dinner with you. I got more for my birthday and I'm only 7.' Bailey chimes in 'Addie, don't worry, when you get older you don't do as much'" Jenn then proceeded to assure Addie that I did in fact have a good day. Addie was almost in tears during this exchange, I guess she really was worried that I had a crappy birthday.

We went to Tucanos for dinner. We used my free birthday dinner to help out with the cost. It wasn't bad, but I think I'm getting too old for all you can eat meat. Either that or I'm not old enough. I can't eat like I used to, but I'm too anxious to get my money's worth that I try to anyways. I've been burping up garlic sirloin all night.

In other news, supposedly we have an offer on the house. It's for quite a bit less than we were hoping for, but we've come to the realization that we probably aren't going to do much better. We're going to go to the temple on Saturday to mull it over, and we're all fasting as a family Saturday night to sunday at lunch so that I can find a good job, specifically one of the jobs in Oregon that I've applied for. I'm driving up next weekend to take a few tests.

We would appreciate any prayers flung our way, we could sure use them.
