Week 10 & 11

With all that is going on, it's hard to remember to share with everyone else. But I miss him today so I thought it would be nice to share all his success. :)

So last week was a good week for him. During week 1 they take away their CHP shirts and they have to wear just plain white shirts with their names on the back. Well after 9 long weeks he earned his back! So proud of him. You can see him stand a little taller because of it now. Lol since I wear one of his CHP short to bed every night when he called me we were matching. I loved it! And then the part I was a little bit nervous about started, he got his gun and vest. I thought it was going to be after the wedding he started that but guess they are moving things. He's doing pretty good. They were giving him tips and it was making his shot better so my nervousness is now gone and I know just like everything else he will be just fine. Lastly, he got certified in Spanish for a basic stop. The sooner he gets through that the better. I am not much help in that area at all! So to say the lest it was a busy andsuccessful week for him.

I haven't had a chance to really talk to him about all that he has been doing this week. It's been a long week for myself too. With the wedding just about a week away I'm just trying to get everything together. And I am pretty sure everything for the wedding is done. But now I am moving on to things that need to change once we're married, like what in the world do I have to do to get health care together? And how do I start changing everything? And when am I going up to Sacramento before Christmas? But I'll get to that all soon enough I guess. It just feels hard without him here. Like at least getting a hug after a bad day would get be back at it. But it's just for a short time and we are almost half way through it. I just can't wait to fall asleep next to him in person and not on FaceTime. 

Well here is to finishing week 11 and the 1/2 week 12 so we can finally get married!!! :)

It's been awhile... On week 9

All this wedding stuff must be getting to me. It's been awhile since I have had time to share all that has been going on. But John has been doing great! He is passing his tests, many of which he said was review from his classes back in college so I'm glad he was a Criminal Justice minor. He also started some of the driving which he has been getting excellent feedback from. He has learned so much he is even criticizing me on my driving! Lol he came home this past weekend and was actually complaining about my driving. This is just crazy because it has always been the other way around so I just alighted at him. I told him before he got into the academy that when he graduates I will never say anything about his driving again, and if I do all he has to say is "badge". So he tried to use it this weekends and I just told him not yet! You must graduate first! :) He also started to learn Spanish, that should be good for him. I feel bad because I can't help him with that at all but I think between the cadets they can work on that together. But he's doing pretty good! He thinks things may get harder now that the senior class graduated. It's just them till the next class comes in some time in January they think. That's a long 2 months but with the wedding and Chrsitmas to look forward to I think it will be here before he knows it. 

So just 24 days till "I do". It absolutely crazy to think it is almost here. We had our rehearsal this weekend and it just felt so surreal. Then yesterday when I was driving home the song that we want playing when I walk in came on my iTunes and I just started crying! I cannot wait! But it's crazy to think the next time I see him we will be getting married the next day. Wow! Keeping praying for us! This month is a crazy one!
