It has almost been a week since I wrote last. The last week for me included: sore throat, minimum days, snotty noses, soccer, coughing, baking sugar cookies, and basically more being sick. The last week was no fun for me. Brian's week involved: getting his gun, getting his bullet proof vest, wrestling, and getting in trouble for fist bumping after his wrestling match. He also received a card from a couple that was in one of our previous growth groups. (Brian led that group, it was on Romans. He did a great job, if I do say so myself.) It was very touching that they cared enough to remember him. Their son is a CHP officer, so they know what Brian is going through. Brian was very grateful for the card.
Today, after dropping Willow off at the vet, was more fun for me. It is Fall Break for the girls, and we went with some friends to Micke Grove Park today. The zoo is tiny, but it was enough to entertain the girls. They had a blast with their friend, which is special because she is moving away this weekend. Of course, I had a blast with my friend (another previous growth group) who I will miss getting to talk to everyday. Thank goodness for Facebook!
Brian's day was very eventful. It started off at 4:45 am for PT, where they were informed what their punishment was going to be. The punishment is for something that 99% of the cadets had nothing to do with, but since they are a team, they all get punished. The punishment for the whole class is that everyone will have marshmallow letters for the remaining time at the academy. All those who had earned (or kept) their CHP shirts are now back to marshmallow letters. I think I was more upset about this then Brian. The announcement was followed by PT which involved a whole lot of legs. Squats, then lunges, more squats, more lunges and then a nice three mile run. :) The day also involved a lot of clothes changing, which Brian is not a fan of since he is such a slow poke. Then his company (as a whole) was five minutes late to PMA. That translate to a lot of knuckle time...A LOT! He also got his name tag today. The majority of the time we were on the phone was spent polishing it. Thank goodness for bluetooth, he can work and talk to me.
There was some good news today! Brian passed his Baton Certification! Yay!! Such a relief for both of us! He also spent four hours out at the range today. First time shooting his gun! He said it was fun and cool. He also said he was pretty good! So his day was another roller coaster...
Tomorrow the only thing I have planned is to pick up Willow -poor thing spayed and de-clawed on the same day. Kitty has been in the best of moods since dropping Willow off at the vet, I can't imagine why... :)
Enough gibber jabber, time for bed. :)
Blessings,
