Well  What a Great Adventure this has been.  33 years ago This last September,  Dennis did something that changed our lives forever. 

In May, we were living in Edmonds and He was working at the Temple,  Looking forward to becoming the Security Supervisor when the current one Retired in a few months.  We had a little apt. and 3 very little people we called our own.   We loved our little life and were quite happy.  But Then we felt prompted to pursue a very different course of action.  He signed up for the National Correctional Officers Academy.  A school that popped up out of nowhere with Great Credentials and a perfect tuition.

He took the courses and graduated. YAY  We were off in a new direction.  He came to Walla Walla and interviewed for a position and we didn't hear back from them.

So, even though someone else had been given the supervisor's position,  he stayed at the temple waiting for something to happen.   All good things in the Lord's time.

Then in September, 33 years ago we got a call on a Monday asking if we could be in Walla Walla the following Monday.  "For another interview? "  I asked.   "No,  to start work"   WOW  Oh yeah we can be there. 

Phone calls were made,  Jobs were left,  trucks were packed, and a place to land was procured.   Thank Goodness for family who, although they didn't like the idea of us being so far away, and certainly didn't like the idea of a prison job,  helped in every possible way.   And we were off

So many wonderful friends and experiences that were both wonderful and not so wonderful later,  we find ourselves again at that point were we are trying hard to follow the Lord where ever he leads us.

So we again make the phone calls and pack the truck and procure a place to land when we get there and Say Goodbye to the prison.  We look back with fondness at our time here, and we look forward with anticipation at what is in store.  What ever happens.   This has been a great ride and an even bigger adventure and Retirement will have to work pretty hard to compare
