I guess I might as well announce our recent news... We were going to just wait until we heard the final outcome, but it is all happening a lot faster than we thought, so I guess it doesn't hurt to share...
We found out from a friend who has family there, that the Vegas Police Dept. is hiring a lot of new recruits due to a large number of older officers that are due to retire within the next few years... So Chris has recently tested for the Las Vegas Metro Police Department!!! Last week, while Ava and I went to Rocky Point with my fam, Chris went back to Vegas to finish his background investigation and his polygraph and he passed everything! So now we are just waiting to hear from the investigator who is in charge of his case to find out if the board approves him and whether he's got the job or not!! If so, then we will be moving to Vegas within the next couple months!
So we are excited about this new possible adventure in our lives, but we are both sad that we have to move out of AZ because we both really like where we are living right now. It stinks because we've been here in Florence for about a year and a half now and it feels like we are just getting settled in and comfortable! And now we've got to start all over again! But it is a great job opportunity, and Chris is really looking forward to it. They have told us if he is accepted that he will probably be put into the May or June academy in Vegas, so that kinda puts a kink in our summer plans. Especially with the new baby due at the end of May... In other words, the timing couldn't be worse! haha, but I guess we will just take it how it comes and figure it out as we go.
I am very proud of him and this new leap that he is taking in his life. It will be a great challenge and learning experience for the both of us! He has done a great job so far with all of his testing and was ranked 21 out of an incredible 800 that applied in his block!!! And that is without any military bonus points! So I couldn't be happier for him and this new possible chapter in our lives. It will definitely be an adventure! So keep your fingers crossed for us! And we'll let you know the final verdict as soon as we find out!
