Good things happen to those who wait

I totally believe this saying now.

Yesterday while I was waiting for my husband to get up and dress so we can go out to Rising Sun Ranch to do our volunteer work, he received a phone call (which I did not hear the phone go off) and it was from the Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice. This is about the application Andrew did back on May 27 for correctional officer. I was just talking on Tuesday night to my friend, Denise, that if we did not year back from them by July 11, we will have to contact them.

Well, they called Andrew and told him there is an opening out at Wallace Unit in Colorado City and that he has a choice on training. He could do July 2 in Snyder or Plainsville where they would offer housing but he would have to pay for his meals or start July 9 at the Middleton Unit here in Abilene. He chose here in Abilene so that way we really would not be spending much.

After training, he will need to report to the Wallace Unit in Colorado City. Its only an hour drive and they have housing there, so while he is on duty he can stay there and on his days off he can return home. The only down side to this is that he will not see his first paycheck till August 1. That means for probably July and maybe August we will be hurting in the bills till we can get things squared away. I will have to contact our bill companies and explain the situation and hopefully they are willing enough to work with us.

Other than that, I will probably stay at BCBS just long enough to bank some more $$ but then its off to find a new job. Who knows, I might join Denise and maybe we can start our own company...whatever that will be. Well, that is the update for now. Happy reading.
