We're moving to...

PHOENIX!

We are so excited for what God has in store for us! I will write more later this week in chronological order of the past few days including God's amazing answer to my (Sarah's) prayer about last week. He is so faithful!

Walt was selected for the Phoenix promotion but it has to go through regional and national approvals so it will be around 8 weeks before we get the official offer. Please pray that goes smoothly but we are so thankful to know it's coming! Walt will probably start his new job in late June.

Thank you Lord for Your perfect timing and provision!

Update on promotions

The second place called today for a 2nd interview! It is tomorrow (Friday) at 10am.

It is uncommon for them to request a 2nd interview which could mean they had a lot of qualified candidates. Everyone we've talked to that has got promoted to this position had only one interview so this is very different! But it is a blessing that he is to the final round. He also had to do another essay question. (in addition to the laborious application packet that had close to a dozen essays.)

Walt said that based on things said in the interviews, he was the first one to apply for the second place but the last person for the first place. The first place made their decision a couple days after Walt's interview but there are so many levels of national approval that he has to wait for to find out.

This second interview will by no means speed up the process for the second place...just resets the clock for this location on our side because we know they haven't even made a decision!

As of tomorrow, our wait will be set back to zero for the second one and 5 weeks for the first one.

Another Home Run!

Walt's interview yesterday with the second possible location for the promotion went very well!

Tomorrow is 4 weeks since the first location's interview.

It could take up to 7 or 8 weeks for yesterday's decision so we are trying to remain patient. We are grateful we have jobs now but can't wait to hear the outcome!

In the meantime, Walt has a 4-day weekend to watch March Madness! I am taking off tomorrow so I am excited for my 3-day weekend! (not to watch b-ball!)

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Walt got a call for an interview for the second promotion he's applied for! It is set for Wednesday at 2pm. Please pray for this opportunity. While we would prefer the first opportunity, we certainly don't want to blow off this possibility!

It will be 4 weeks on Friday since Walt's interview with the first promotion. Please pray for us while we wait. Another guy got promoted after waiting 7 weeks after his interview!

Progression on 2nd Application

Yesterday, Walt got the letter that stated he was qualified for the second promotion he applied for and the application was sent on. So that was good! We are still praying for the promotion he already interviewed for: 2.2 weeks down...at least 1.8 weeks left to wait! We are thankful that the second application process is not going as fast as the first one...this is a huge blessing as we'd like to hear back from this one first!

Hopefully we'll have some good news by Easter!

March is finally here!

It is finally March! Walt is so excited.
He loves it when January and February are behind us. (So depressing after the fun of the holidays and football comes to end! Now he is looking forward to March Madness!)

Happy March 1st!

PS- No word on the job...it will take weeks! We promise to let you know when we find something out!
