Update on Mike

As many of you know Mike started a new job this week at the local Bass Pro Store. Monday and Tuesday were orientation and they were not even in the store. The rest of his schedule was working Thursday, Friday and Saturday starting at 5AM until 2PM. He will be working full time in the shipping and receiving department but until the store opens he is stocking shelves like everyone else. He has been working in the fishing department the last two days and as you can imagine there are lots of little things that need to be put out for display. He will be working a rotating schedule, working one weekend day every other week. His hours will always be 5-2 though. I guess he will be getting to bed earlier in order to be up by 4:15 AM. He is driving himself and as it is less than 3 miles from the house it doesn't take long to get there. He is very excited with this new adventure and we are hopeful it will be a good match for him so he can continue his quest for independence. And along those lines, he and I went out with his realtor Amanda this week to look at a foreclosure in Perrysburg. Amanda is a high school friend of Jessica's who has agreed to take Mike on as a long term client. We have looked at two small condos in the Belmont area. Mike has been saving well but would still need a roommate to be able to handle a mortgage payment. It is good for him to see the potential of living on his own. Working with Amanda has been great because she knows our situation with Mike, and the fact that we may be looking for quite a while. This is a shot of Realtor Amanda and Mike.
