G R A D U A T I O N ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Finally after 9 long months of the Police Academy he's done. Its been a tough road and with full time work AND full time school his days started at 5:30 in the morning and didn't end until 10:30 at night 5 days a week. Its something not everyone could endure but he did, and he did it well. I cannot express how proud I am of him. Proud not only for excelling in school, but for having the courage to change career paths to do something he is passionate about, for pursuing his dream even though its wasn't the easiest road to take. He's a strong man, a wonderful husband, caring step-father, and I know that one day he will be an amazing police officer that any force would be proud to have.

Congrats, babe! I love you so much!

Here are some of my favorites from graduation last night.
