Congrats Kevin!

Last Friday, Kevin was enjoying his first day off after working 8 straight days when he received a phone call from Owasso Fire Department. They hired him #2 out of 40 applicants. And the crazy things is, they only hired 2! He will start in January. Which will be wonderful because he can finish Paramedic school in November and have some time to study for the National Test before he starts fire-training.

We give God all the glory for this wonderful news. For the past 18 months we have been doing things that would hopefully lead to the fire department: EMT school, Paramedic school, Tulsa interviews, and now Owasso interviews. However I don't think either of us thought that it would happen this soon! Many guys apply year after year to get hired. And it is only because of the grace of God that Kevin was hired so quickly.

I really am so happy for him. After years of playing around with carer idea after career idea during college and after, nothing lit him up like the thought of firefighting. And the thing is, he is REALLY good at emergency medicine. This really is his calling. So needless to say, we are very excited over here at our house. It still hits us in the middle of something and one of us will say "Oh my gosh! You're hired." or "I'm on the fire department!"

We appreciate ALL the prayers that were said on his behalf. I think half the state of Oklahoma has prayed for Kevin through each step of this process and it obviously made a difference. So thank you!
