Most of or friends and family know that money has been tight and times have been tough in our home. When Shon was let go from IM Flash about a year and a half ago, ModusLink (which is the company he worked with for 5 years and where he worked when we got married) took him on full time (even though it was through a temp agency). Well, they told him in about 6 months from that time he would be hired on. Great, awesome, cool, right?! Wrong. He never got hired on, although he does still have a job, we really needed more money and something more "permanent". So about 2 months ago Shon sat down and just went through job app trough job app and applied for a
TON of jobs. We made sure we paid our honest full tithing to our church and we fasted and we prayed and we fasted. One night we were sitting on the couch trying to figure out finances and we were just shy to pay all of our bills on time and in full. I opened my email and I had my pay stub from my job and I had a NICE surprise. The next day, sitting on the couch again talking to Shon we get a phone call and the caller ID says "Provo City". Hmmm, don't know anyone there so it goes to voicemail (we suck at answering our home phone by the way if we don't know who it is). We wait that 2 seconds it takes to leave a message and then he calls our answering machine. It is the City of Provo Police Department! A job Shon had applied for! They ask Shon to come in for an interview for a parking enforcement officer with the police force.
A week goes by until this interview and Shon and I were very confident. We had done EVERYTHING we could possibly think of to make sure he got this job. D-Day came. Shon went in for his interview and he left feeling very confident after meeting with the Sergeant over him. 2 o'clock came and the Sergeant called Shon and told him point blank it was between another guy who came highly recommended and Shon and they are still thinking about it...ugh! Really? 4 o'clock came...HE GOT IT! Yay! Such a blessing to have Shon doing something he loves and has always wanted to do (working for a police department). He is happier and so is our checking account! :-)
So today, Shon came home with some homework...
JUST a
little!
P.S. They made him shave the mustache...not apart of the dress code. :-( We ALL know how I love em!
Some slight reading material! It was about 3 inches thick..Hahahaha!
His "personal" binder and his badge number.
