Not Good News :(

So the gist of it is that we had a great dinner last weekend, and not much else, other than within the next year John will be promoted to a major's position (his work does promotion the military way), and that is only if business in Kalamazoo continues to grow. Basically we felt that the owner was just trying to figure out if John is still actively pursuing a police job, which of course he is.

Even though we didn't get great news, John isn't too disappointed, he just found out he has been moved through to the next step in hiring with Michigan State Police, and he is still #1 on the hiring list with Kalamazoo County and should be able to be hired in April May, so we are keeping our fingers crossed:)

Good News?

Today John was in Jackson for meetings all day, and on his way home he calls and says that I need to call Bravo's restaurant and make reservations for tomorrow night for 4. Of course I ask all my questions as to why I need to do this and his reply completely shocked me. He says the owner of the company he currently works for is taking John and me out for dinner with him and his wife tomorrow night because there are important issues he wants to discuss with us.

So now we are so curious we could die, and the only thing we can agree on is that we may be getting an offer we can't refuse for John to stay and not continue to pursue a police job. John has excelled at this job, and it has been no secret that they want to keep him, and will greatly miss John if he leaves for a police job, which they have known from the beginning was a possibility and they respected that. But now business in Kalamazoo area is bumming, and they really need John, especially since they just landed the Stryker account, and we also heard this week that the owner really wants to keep John, and is afraid he will leave. We have discussed staying with his current job, because how often is it that you actually find a job that you love and that the employer respects you as a person as actually values you , and not to mention the prospects in Michigan right now for police careers is slim pickings.

So if things tomorrow go as we are guessing we are going to have a serious decision to make. I'm excited to see what tomorrow night brings! Hopefully fantastic news!
