It's Official.....

We found out today that Matt is OFFICIALLY beginning the DeKalb County Fire Academy on Monday, January 25!!!!

As many of you know, Matt has been trying to get a job with a fire department for almost 2 years! We have filled out applications to so many departments that we cannot even count! Forsyth, Gwinnett, Hall, Barrow, Clayton, Cobb, City of Smyrna, City of Atlanta, City of Johns Creek....and the list goes on and on! He has taken eight agility tests and eight written tests with different departments....and he never gave up the hope of becoming a firefighter!!! Who ever knew that it was such a long process!!! I am so proud of him for not getting discouraged or getting down during these past 2 years. I am not saying they have been easy, but we have made it!!

The long journey of waiting is finally over and a new journey has begun. Over the next few months he will go through intense training, so keep him in your prayers!!! Thank you for all of your support and encouragement over these past two long years!!!
