March blows in interesting things this time of year.  Hints of spring, change, and some rays of hope.  I see now that I will never get what I need working at the casino.  It was a promise unfulfilled.  I am now actively looking for better employment.  I'm sure I will find it.

I think I am only weeks away from getting invited by Homeland Security to join the Customs Border Patrol team.  That could be a good step forward for me.  It is certainly something with potential for growth and a level of interest on my part.  You all will know as soon as I do regarding that.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of the people going on the Guatemala Trip this year.  We have an advance meeting coming up at the end of this month to rally together for the fundraising.  Since I am on the topic, Becca and I have finished our Newsletters and all of you should be getting a copy soon.  If you do not, please email us immediately!  :)

Two months with Friday the 13ths in them.  Back to back.  How strange is that?

I am still waiting to hear back from the Dept. of Homeland Security regarding the Customs Border Patrol Officer position.  Right now I am expecting them to offer me the position, but there are still a few details to work out before I would accept.  We'll see....I should hear back sometime in March, thus making the whole process almost 9 months long.

Things at the restaurant are still the same.  Business is steady, but low.  The managers are trying to push out about two or three of us.  I interviewed with the Beverage Dept, for a salary position.  Not something I want to do for a long time, but something that I could do that pays ok and will put me back eligble for benefits.

Missions is trying to rev up a little as we are now about six months away from the next trip.  Another first for Real Missions as we attempt to have two trips leaving SeaTac airport at the same time.  It will be neat to see it all work.  We also have an orientation get away planned for the end of March that will get everyone going on the two trips excited.  We are coming into the major fundraising season, so watch out for notification from us :)

Well I figure I better get caught up a little.  It has been almost a month since we last posted.  Things have been busy as Real Missions works on getting their website ready, and we start our training overlap (Training Ghana and Guatemala teams both in February and March).  Still no job on the horizon.  Although, I have a lead on a local audio company that might be hiring. 

Becca and I took advantage of the nice weather today.  It was sunny and 57!  We were able to head to Snoqualmie.  It is so beautiful there on sunny days.  I had some work up that way and Becca was able to join me.  We had lunch and revisited the spot where I proposed to her.  It was nice reminiscing. 

Other than that, I think I have finished installing the garage door opener.  Yeah!  I will put the finishing touches on it tonight and then I will know for sure.  I hope so, it would be nice to be done.
