Yesterday Tim was informed that our family was denied medical clearance to Montana. Basically, we cannot go to Montana because they do not have a pediatric nephrologist for Micah, (child kidney doctor). We are a little bummed to know we will not be going there by April or at all, but also understand Micah's needs are being put first. Ironically, after Micah had a sedated MRI in Santa Barbara last month they were able to downgrade his kidney disorder from a dysplastic kidney to an ectopic kidney, so we are thankful for that.
As it stands, we will continue to be stationed here at Vandenberg. Tim's current job ends in April of 2013 so there is talk of jobs here and there for him. He is a great worker and many people know his work ethic so it is only a matter of time before someone snatches him up, (not to sound braggy about him). Everything happens for a reason and this is one of those things that was meant to happen this way.
Both boys do not seem to mind we are staying. Micah can hopefully have his teacher from 1st grade who moved to 3rd grade this for next school year, and Noah is very familiar with the school Micah attends so starting Kindergarten for him next Fall should be an easy transition. I also started working up at Micah's school as a fill-in noon duty aide and kinder recess aide so I can continue with that job for myself.
I am waiting for my Christmas cards I ordered to come in the mail and those will be sent out soon. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Season with all your friends and family.
