[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 428407, member: 4264"] Thank you all again. It is nice to know that out there in the internet abyss there is a great group of people who get it all. S/O is relaxing today. I was pretty down for the count physically today after a couple of hectic busy days in a row. I napped from 5-10p.m. lol. S/O joined me and now we're both up bright eyed just when we should be turning in haha. He'll be putting his resume out to a few aviation companies here in town this week. I'm hopeful for him, gosh I hope they are hiring! Otherwise, he has a job waiting at his former company that he was previously laid off from. He was called back just months into starting this program but he decided to stick with the course because it was paid for, interesting and more what he wants for himself than his last job. But at least we know that job is in the wings, so he won't be unemployed long. Important now that his funding is done for school, which included a "training allowance" to replace lost earnings. It's all on me and my small income right now, not that it matters, we know how to be frugal lol. But we have plans, big plans, a 2 year plan actually with strict dates for completing certain things in time to move away in 2 years time. I would love to seem working in the aviation field after all of his hard work :). As for the police situation. I'm doing okay.
