Were Back in Town, Again

We're officially back in the glorious, wet state of Washington (hence the new background). Time to break out the sweaters and the rain boots and pack away the shorts and swim suits.
We've moved in with Cameron's parents for a short while (very grown up of us, huh?) to save up some money and buy a house/condo (this is a far fetched dream of mine, has been for years, but maybe it's not so far fetched anymore). So for the next, who knows how long, Camano Island is our new home.
We have been really blessed so far with work. Cam has a job as a flight instructor at Snohomish Flying Service that started out not looking too promising but in the last week he's actually picked up a couple students, one being the owner's son. He also go offered a job at Blockbuster as a part-time shift manager. This is perfect because he can still fit his students into his schedule. He goes in this Friday to finish all the paperwork and start some training. Our goals for the near future are these: Kenmore Air is suppose to be hiring come this February for either a dock hand (someone to help dock the sea planes as they come in) or a flight instructor for sea planes. Kenmore is his dream job. Around January Cam will try and get the rest of the hours he needs to be an sea plane instructor, with Kenmore, and maybe that will give him the in he needs. All these things are kind of a long shot because we don't know for sure if they'll be hiring, what the pay will be and if we'll be able to afford to get him another 15 hours on floats. In the meantime he's finishing the application for a WA State Park Ranger. This will take a couple months to get processed.
We're happy to be back with our families, even though it means we have to give up our sunshine. The girls are having a blast spending time with their cousins, aunts and uncles and the grandparents. I probably won't post as often anymore because I did all this mostly for our families while we were away. I'll keep everyone else posted of things that are going on every few weeks, if there's anything to post.
