Back home in the Mitten

Well I know it's a little late, but the much awaited Vegas pics are finally here! The trip was fantastic. Evan did great on all of his tests and all of us loved relaxing and enjoying the sights of Vegas.

Suprisingly we already have good news about Evan. He passed his reading/writing exam and his first oral board interview with a 92% overall!!! Out of 2000 applicants he is ranked #29. Right now we are waiting to hear back from his assigned background investigator to tell him when he needs to return for a second interview and polygraph exam. So again we are back to waiting, but at least we have some good news this time.

Testing Day 1 & 2

Well good news everyone ...... Evan has passed both the written tests and the physical fitness!!!!!! Thank you so much for everyones thoughts and prayers. Evan did amazing both days. He scored an 86% on the reading/writing exam and in the fitness portion the only candidate to beat him in the timed mile was an ex-Army Ranger!!!!

We have one more big day, as far as testing goes. Evan has been scheduled to do his oral board interview at 10am Vegas time ( 1pm time back home). So PLEASE think good thoughts and a quick prayer of encouragement for Evan! Unfortunately after tomorrows interview he won't hear anything back from the department for about 6 weeks!

In other news I have done my Baci proud on the slots! I won $30 on the Price is Right slot machine. It was so much fun, I got to play Plink and was the Showcase winner!!! You are all secretly jealous, I know!

This is probably our last Vegas post, we will be coming home Saturday evening. We look forward to showing everyone our pictures and more fun stories!
