Today marked a couple of "Firsts" for Oak Harbor UPC and for us. Today was my first day on my new job with
Boeing...I went to orientation in Seattle all day today and will be reporting to the
Everett Facility on Monday. I am really thankful for this job because it gives us the mechanism whereby we can support the church while we are getting things established. I only wish that it was not going to require the hour and a half commute each way to do it. I don't like leaving the island for anything, I want to be here! We are trusting God that I will eventually land a job at
NASWI (Naval Air Station Whidbey Island). They are bringing in a new squadron of aircraft this summer and I am hoping to land a job at the air base then. Angie will continue to work her current job at Camp Murray (WA State National Guard Base located near Tacoma). She is applying for positions up this way as often as she can and we both expect her to land a job soon. She hopes that the timing will be such that it will allow her to be in Highlands TX for the birth of our 3rd grandbaby (Kane Lee Elder) who is due in the next few weeks.

Today was also the day that we became official Island Residents. After work today, I drove up to Oak Harbor and checked into the Navy Lodge...this will be our home until our new RV Trailer arrives from Indiana where it was built by
Hy-Line.
