The Big Move

We are currently 17 days away from the wedding! I can't believe it, the time has gone so fast! We got news last week that Brent will be able to move up here before the wedding. He has applied for a police officer position with Waseca a few months ago and we have patiently been waiting for the job offer (after 2 interviews and an extensive background check), Brent was in the top 3. He got the call from the Waseca Chief of Police on May 25th. He was runner up for the full-time position, but they were offering him the part-time position. He decided to accept the part-time position because it will average to 32 hours a week with pretty decent pay, benefits and paid time off. We are hoping that his taking this job will help him get his foot in the door and hopefully get a full-time position in the near future (Waseca thinks they will hire full-time again in 4-6 months). We are just grateful that he will be able to move in before the wedding and we don't have to worry about a long-distance marriage!

So, I will be heading down to Iowa this weekend while Brent works, I will be packing up his house! Then, next weekend we will be moving his stuff up here (I really need to make some room for his stuff - I can't believe how 1 person can fill up a 4 bedroom house)! His last day of work in Hampton will be June 24th. 

Brent has been up here this week to take his psych test in Minneapolis (which took 4 hours) and a physical at the clinic in town. His anticipated start date in June 29th, but he has to talk to them yet to determine if they want him to work a week and then take a week off for our honeymoon, or if they just want him to wait to start until after we get back.

I'm looking forward to finally being able to be with him everyday (although, I'm sure there will be an adjustment period, we are both used to living by ourselves). Can't wait!!
