California Trip...

Eric and i on the night of the 27th of July began a 5 day trip to Northern and Southern California. We went to Eric's 40th High School Class reunion which was such a wonderful time and great that Eric and i were able to finally take a 2nd honeymoon!


Yes, it was just the two of us! Our favorite travel buddy- Heidi- Our daughter usually travels with us and we always have fun. But, this time we just wanted to finally take our 2nd honeymoon.


We left home at midnight of the 27th- going into the 28th and drove all night- the morning of the 28th we arrived in Northern California- Angels Camp and Calveras County- Eric's Grandparents and other relatives are buried there- We spent the day and one night there. It was so much fun.

The next morning we got up and headed south to LA!

We actually stayed in Costa Mesa. We loved our hotel! it was real nice.

NEWS...

As many of you all know Dad had interviewed for a couple of dispatch positions. One with the Salt Lake City Police Dept. and one with the emergency communications center/department for Summit County- here in Utah-- unfortunately dad got some answers in the mail Saturday! not the answers we all were hoping and praying for. He got turned down for both of them and did not get either position. Back to square one! So we really need your prayers, thoughts ! to help us be led to the direction where the job that is meant for our family is and that we as a family can find this job! so we really need your continued love, thoughts and prayers!

Update from Interview...TODAY...

Dad had his interview for the dispatch position up in Summit County (I apologize if i have in the past said Wasatch County) those are two different counties. Anyhow the position is in Summit County. Anyhow the interview was at 9 AM up in Park City area.

Well it was a interview... They told him that they would be doing a background check and he should have a answer in about 3 weeks. - Now the wait is on!! i think this will be the longest 3 weeks of our lives. So basically that's the update!!- If you all could continue to keep dad and us as a family in your thoughts and prayers and keep - keeping your fingers crossed that dad get's this job and or a job soon that if this is not the job for him and us as a family another one will come along and he will be successful and getting one better suited for him and us as a family ASAP!! we would really appreciate it! and also pray for us to have opportunities to bring money into the home and family and pray that we as a family will always have what we need and the means we need to pay the bills and take care of the stuff we need and that we can be taken care of and helped in every way and recieve all the blessings we need (it's all the same right?)sorry if i am being repetitive!! anyhow we would really appreciate it.
We love you all and you all mean so much to us!!!

Loves,
The Richhart's !

P.S. i as a member of the family am just real nervous for him to either get a letter or a phone call saying he didn't get the job!

TESTING TODAY....

Today Dad went to go test and do some testing for a dispatch position for the Wasatch County Sherrif's office. So he went testing and the test was a 108 test question. You have to pass with 80% or better to advance to the interview stage. He came home and we were gone done errands and when we got home and asked how everything went and he told us that he would know if he passed or not within 2 to 3 days by letter or phone call if he passed and if he would be getting a interview.

Well 3:10 PM this afternoon we get a call from the Summit County Human Resources Dept. from the sherrif's dept. informing dad that he PASSED the test and he was "High up" on the list which we understand that to mean he was one of the real high scorers.
So his interview is next Monday- July 13, 2009 @ 9 AM up in Summit County~
We are keeping our "Fingers crossed!" and ask that you all keep your fingers crossed for him and all of us and him and all of us in your thoughts and prayers this week. And next monday when the interview is that all will go real well and that hopefully and ultimately he will get the job.

Loves,
Heidi
