Sucking At Life

I had a friend in college that whenever anything happened that wasn't perfect in your life, he'd say "You suck at life!" Well I think Braden and I have officially started Sucking At Life. Nothing seems to go our way. Braden has been applying for a spot on the Salt Lake PD. The Detective told him that there were 20-30 openings and only 40 applicants left. We thought those odds were pretty good. Well Braden got a letter yesterday saying that they only hired 9 out of 80 applicants and Braden was number 15 on the list. 15 is pretty good except for the fact that 9 was the magic number. We were really disappointed. We thought he pretty much had it in the bag. He had the fastest time in his physical test and received the highest test scores out of everybody, and everyone he talked to said that he'd get their recommendations. So we don't know where we went wrong. Life goes on and we'll keep on trucking . We got up today feeling ok about the day when I get in the suburban to leave for work, the battery is completely dead, and it won't charge so we had to switch the kids over to the truck. And now once again we are down to one vehicle (which we seem to do a lot). So in conclusion we officially suck at life.

I'm sorry! I thought he had the job for sure. Keep trying! Something even better will come up.

If you ask me, I'd say you do pretty good at life. Look at my life. Now, don't you feel better? :)
