Quick Update

Saturday we got up at the crack of dawn for Ryan's agility test for the fire department. Sean and I went along for moral support and hung out in the parking lot waiting for Ryan to finish. I showed Sean the fire trucks, let him play with the dials in the front seat of our car (engine off) and fed him raisins one at a time to keep him from getting fussy. Sadly we got bad news at the end of of it though, Ryan missed passing the wall test by three seconds! He got over both walls twice in 33 seconds instead of 30 and was disqualified from the test. It was so frustrating for him to be soooo close to passing this obstacle that's been stressing him out for months, but I am so incredibly proud of him for all the wonderful progress he's made. We don't know what God's plan is for us right now (reapplying in six months or searching out a new career path) but we're confidant that He's watching out for us.
