Special Agent Metcalf

First, We are SO SO blessed.  I can't begin to acknowlege Heavenly Father's hand in helping guide our family to a career for Jared. 
Over a year ago, we made a list of our Family Goals and things that we could not compromise when it came to our family and a career for Jared.  With much faith, we turned down Folsom PD (a career that looked good on paper, but we felt wrong about in our hearts) hoping that Heavenly Father would point us in a path that met all of our family goals.

Here we are, with a CONDITIONAL JOB OFFER.  It's with the FBI and we couldn't be any more excited!!  It's still another 5 month hiring process-- background check, physical test, polygraph, etc. etc.  We are very hopeful and positive that it will all work out.

What it means for us:
a BIG ADVENTURE
-Another academy for Jared - (5 months in Virginia)
-Relocating our family for at least 3 years (yes, we are sad to leave friends and family)
-Lindsey doesn't have to work! (that's right fellow mommies-- play dates galore!)
- A career that checks off everything on our Family Goals list :) (and so much more)
- A sweet job that Jared will LOVE (Love could be an understatement)
-SPECIAL AGENT...do I need to say more?

I am so proud of Jared...what a great career choice, he's perfect for it :)

You know if you guys come to Puerto Rico for 5 years you can live where ever you want the rest of his career! Our ward is like 75% FBI agents and they're families. :) Congrats! I'm sure it feels so good to be moving towards what he really wants!
