Jake's new job

As most of you know, Jake was offered a job the State of Washington as a safety and health inspector. He accepted the position Mid-May and yesterday was his first day in the civilian work force. Commuting to Bellevue and getting to meet his new co-workers was interesting for him. It is a hard thing to transition from one mentality to another, but he is doing so well with all the changes. I, on the otherhand, have been an absolute basket case enough for both of us. So starts his training and traveling. He will be very busy over the next few months getting to know the ropes. We are so thankful that he is able to move from one career in the USCG to another career with the State with no lag time between.

Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. We are very excited for the future and cannot wait until the transition is finally over. We are still in the stages of the Medical Board for his back and hope to hear very soon the outcome.
