I don't know

Jaret and I are getting a good taste of what it's like to earn our way in the world.  After our three month wait we finally got a phone call from the Bozeman Police Department.  It wasn't good news but it wasn't necessarily bad news.  We still don't know whether or not Jaret has passed the back ground check but we do know that he's not going to the academy in August.  I guess the PD can't afford to hire him yet.  There's still a possibility for January and if not January then April.  I think the most interesting part of the story is the timing.  It just so happens that early that same day Jaret was pressured by his work to put in his resignation so that they could post his position. They wouldn't let him rescind his resignation and was told he could re-apply but would most likely not get the job due to the fact that he could still leave.  Jaret had three weeks to find a new job.  One of our friends happened to call later that night and encouraged me to apply where she works - HC Company.  They had an opening for a part time evening position and thanks to our friend I was hired the next day.  Jaret also applied for a position at HC Company and was hired this last Tuesday.  Yay!  I went into work last Friday and found out that I was pretty much fired.  This had nothing to do with performance but more about the fact that it didn't look good that a husband and wife worked at the same place.  Don't ask me the total reasoning especially since we would be working different hours, but we decided that it was best for me to go without a fight in order to keep peace and a positive start for Jaret.  I've been trying to figure out what I can do instead.  I've thought about baby sitting, starting up piano lessons, I applied at Kohls, and best of all I have started doing individual basketball lessons.

Anyway, I've come to a conclusion.  I don't know.  I don't know if Jaret will like his job or if it will even take him anywhere like we hope.  I don't know if he will be a cop or not.  I don't know if we will ultimately stay in Bozeman.  I don't know if we will be able to buy a house any time soon.  I don't know.

I think what is more important than what I don't know is what I DO know. I know that Jaret and I have felt peace throughout this last couple of weeks.  I feel that things happen for a reason and I know that Heavenly Father is looking out for us.  I know that things will work out.  They may not necessarily play out how we have planned but I've heard that God knows the better way.  All we can do now is hope and have faith that that's true.  I'm grateful for the peace that we've felt.  I know we're blessed...and pretty darn lucky!
