August update

We are proud to announce that Joel has been hired on as a paramedic with a company called Protransport! He will be stationed in San Francisco County for the first month or two and after will be transferred to Santa Clara County. ProTransport will be rolling out with a new ALS (Advanced Life Support) program as well as 9-11 calls in both Santa Clara and San Fransisco counties. Joel will be apart of the first slew of medics that this company will hire on. Though this means a lot of pressure will be put on Joel and his learning experiences, he is eager to take it all on. We are both very excited God has given him this wonderful opportunity.

This month Joel is going to be turning 27 years old. We don't have much planned because he has been super busy with his new job. This will be one of the first years where Joel is not excited about gifts or celebrations. This job is one of the best birthday presents for him.

Joanne is finishing up with her thank-you notes from the wedding. We have been given two gifts these last two weeks, which was a very pleasant surprise. Also, yesterday we were given our official copy of our wedding photos. We were really happy with how they turned out and can't wait to receive our video.

This month is full of events and we hope to have some spare time to celebrate Joel's birthday as well as maybe squeeze in a last minute camping trip.
