Day 94 thru 99 have been busy. I know... what a surprise. Last week Brian passed five out seven techniques for handcuffing/ searches. The two he did not pass are pretty much the same thing and he is already feeling pretty confident about retesting. At home the girls and I just stayed in the groove of things.
This weekend was great! Brian's parents took the girls early Saturday afternoon and kept them over night. It was nice to have time to catch up with Brian. We went out to dinner (thanks to who ever bought me the gift card for my b-day), then took the dogs out for a night time walk. It was nice to reconnect. Sunday, at church the pastor started the new series "Hope for Troubled Time", except he didn't really get to the "hope" part. :) Still very good! After church we went home, had lunch, Brian watched the Niner's game and did his laundry. Brian needed to get back to the academy early, so of course the game went into overtime. After the game, I quickly cut Brian's hair and sent him on his way. Only 12 more Sunday night good-byes!
Today was the start of week 15! A and H had the day off for Veteran's day. So I had made an appointment to get their Christmas pictures taken. But first I had to take them to Target to buy black stockings. Of course you cannot go to Target and get only one thing. I think it is impossible and maybe against the rules. I left with: two Christmas presents, Christmas lights, two head bands (for pictures), napkins for H's Friendship Feast next week, Dixie cups, and who knows what else! Oh and the stockings, I would have been so mad if I would have forgotten the stockings! The pictures turned out pretty cute! We had a heck of a time getting all three girls to look at the camera and/or smile. Even in the individual pictures. They would look at the camera and not smile, or have a great smile but be looking off in the wrong direction! :)
Brian passed his certification in rifle today! Wednesday is the day for the pistol certification and shotgun is on Thursday. His day ended really early, he called before 6:30 and was already done with his studying. He mentioned this weekend that life at the academy was starting to change. It is not any easier, but they are being treated differently. He said the staff/ pt officers even, sometimes, joke around -mostly at the expense of the junior cadets. They still yell at the senior cadets, just not as much as the yell at the junior cadets. :)
Tomorrow is day 100! It is hard to believe that we are in the triple digits! I am going to spend part of day 100 (yay!) at my MOPs meeting. We are doing a craft- it should be fun! :)
Blessings,
