Dan's Update

Dan stopped working for the Canyon's ski resort in July of this year and since then has been trying to get his business going which has actually paid off a bit, we have actually taken a pay check for the first time since he started it over a year ago. However since his business is not yet able to pay all the bill he is in the process of registering to go to the post academy. He actually applied to get a job with a few police departments and in the end he was always on the top of the list of candidates but they all turned him down because they did not want to pay to put him through post and told him that if he was already certified he would be one of their top choices. So that made our decision. When Dan was in the military we knew that some benefits would come our way when his service was through but we never thought we would need them so badly. Because Dan is a veteran the state is actually paying for his academy training and his GI bill will be giving us money for living expenses and we are so grateful for that opportunity that he has. If everything goes as planned then he will be starting his training in the end of January and will be finished in July, and hopefully hired with a PD soon after.
