National Firefighter Certification

We have been busy this last week. Joe's birthday was Tuesday. We went out to an Italian restaurant in Easton for which we had a gift certificate (I had won it off the radio in December). Then Wednesday night Joe had his graduation ceremony for completing his National Firefighter course.

This is a major accomplishment! He worked for the last 4 months, attending classes every Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. He studied very hard and put a lot of practice into getting his gear on in under a minute! We are very proud of him!


Joe has also had lots of interviews recently, which is a very good thing! He has had interviews for teaching positions and a couple for non teaching positions. He went for a second interview today at a company that inspects, services, and repairs fire equipment. He got the job! YAY!!!! He starts in another week, so he is looking forward to that. There is the possibility of advancement too. He is still going to an interview next week for a teaching position, because it would pay more, but this is a good start for the summer.

This weekend is Memorial Day and we all have Monday off so we can enjoy the nice long weekend. We will have a couple of friends over on Saturday and Monday there is a parade, but other than that, it will lots of rest and relaxation!
