Need A Prayer

Okay, I am ready to talk about it. However, I need to go to sleep soon so I will probably be leaving some things out.

Adam has been applying for Coast Guard's College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative for 2 months. He has done TONS of things. He finally felt great about something he wanted to do and something that could possibly be accomplished in a decent amount of time. He hasn't give up even with all these "things" that have got in the way. Transferring schools was a pain in the rump. When we realized we were unable to go to school in the fall that college still wanted us to pay 1,200 for dropping our classes on the first day of school. We had to appeal and we got that cleared up. Then we had to sign up for school again for spring, they want your first child and his little dog. It has been a crazy struggle and all these issues keep rising up, they only tell you something new once you finish one thing. Thankfully Adam got accepted again. When they transferred his BYU credits they took everything except for the 4 classes he tested out of. That made a mess because that puts us down to 48 credits. We need 60 for the program. We ran up to the school today and found out it is possible to take the tests for their school and pay for the credits. We are just relieved that aren't full tuition value. If Adam passes the spanish examination for all 4 lower level spanish classes that will give us 60 credits and we can still apply and finish school within 2 years. He is taking that test tomorrow! Spanish is spanish, and he knows the language so we are not worried. He's done it before! Frankly, we are relieved.
We have encountered many of these "stumps" through this process and many people would have given up a long time ago. Which they have, Adam is the only person right now applying for this program in this area. I am so grateful for Adam's perseverance in something he feels will be beneficial for him and his family. The updates on the application: He has done his health physical passed perfectly, scored a GREAT score on his ASVAB and did all his backgrounds and paperwork. We are waiting for 2 more letters of recommendation (which has been a struggle all it's own). Adam then needs to write an essay and turn it in to his recruiter. Then they send in the application and before school starts, WE HOPE!!!!! the board can meet with him and interview him for their program. It has been stressful and you know how anxious and impatient I get! But, like I said, Adam has really taken great responsibility in this endeavor. He needs the rest of his stuff ASAP so the interview people don't go out of town for holiday and stuff, he also needs to get those credits! Isn't it amazing, if Adam didn't take even one of his classes so far he wouldn't be able to apply. We know all these stumps are worth something. Hard things are worth it, right!!

Talk about hard things... I finally got a subbing job. I am a little nervous because I don't know southern kids and I am kind of rusty in the bossy classroom teacher compartment... and I'll be subbing which might possibly be the hardest job in the world. Any how, please keep me in your thoughts and send warm fuzzies my way, because I am hoping for a SUPER wonderful day!!! I LOVE teaching and I don't want monster children who hate sub's to kill that in me.

Thanks.
