Week 19

This was really a long week! This was scenario week for his company and he passed everything which was awesome. But he did also get the first feeling of going home, that this battle isn't over yet. They tricked him into thinking he didn't do something right the second time but it was really to prove a point that they are not out of the woods yet and themed to stay focused. Scared him for sure but he is glad scenarios are over.

We also got the dream sheet! The list of places that need officers and looks like we will get what we were praying for, Westminster! It would be such a huge blessing since I teach in Huntington Beach and it gives me an opportunity to expand my customer base just a bit but still take care of my original customers. :) we still have 8 weeks to finish the academy but we feel really good, really strong that God has gotten him through this much and answered so many prayer along the way, we can make it this latst 8 weeks with just a little more focus. Then were becoming orange country people lol. I'm excited to really start looking at places for us.

So he should have his last driving test sometime this week, which is pass or go home. No one has gone home on it yet so I have no worried for him to do that same. He also has to certify in another part of Spanish which we have been working on almost every weekend so he should be good on that too. And then my husband comes home for the weekend! His birthday is next week so we get to celebrate a little bit with him this weekend. Friday can't come soon enough! 

Keep praying, were almost done!!!

Week 18

I got to see him in his tans! His official uniform! Wow what a great thing that was. I can't share it but we will all see it in 9 weeks anyway :)

So on Monday they got to try on their uniforms and I think that was a high boost for all of them. Then his company got pepper sprayed lol oh that was another picture to see. My poor husbands face was bright red and swollen. But it's just one more thing done on this road! He as certified in shotgun. So we have finished 2 of 3 shooting test and 2 of 3 driving test. 

Tuesday- Boxing Day! So he got out of it with a slight black eye and a bruised lip. I'm so proud of all this he is going through and I can say I feel like he can kick anyone's butt now lol

Wednesday- big day! He had certification for rifle which he passed so he is all done with the guns! And he had his last driving test. He passed one part of it but not the other so he has to take that one again. We don't know when but he feels pretty good about doing it over. He only gets one more attempt at it but he will be just fine. We don't think he will be doing it for like 2 weeks but he is still ready.

Thursday- he spent most of the day I the classroom. But something great happened. I talk often to family members of other cadets in a Facebook group. Well one chat we were having I mentioned how a few of the cadets get together and pray over other cadets who are on their final attempt for something. I also mentioned how all they have prayed for have passed. Well on Thursday another cadet ask my husband if he could pray for him because he is on his final attempt for high speed. Wow! What an amazing feeling that was! Even at the academy God is using him in more ways than one. :) Just another reason I am one proud wife!

Friday- the cadet they prayed for passed! The power of prayer is so good! Other than that it was a boring day just getting them ready for scenario week next week. 

Next week is a big week. Senario testing all week! After he passes everything next week it's just the last driving test, and the rest are paper test that I don't worry about because he is so studious. Were so close it makes me a little sick lol so pray and pray a lot for him this week! Just another huge milestone to pass :)

As for me... I'm keeping busy. But I am in a funk. I find it hard to get up if I don't have something to do early in the day but I am working on it, trying to schedule more in the mornings so I get moving sooner. I started looking for places too but can't really look till we know where his office will be. Hopefully ed find out soon so I that can be a good distraction too. I just miss him but it's only 9 more week... 2/3 of the way done. We got this! He's got this! Keep praying!

Week 17 DONE!

I cannot believe that we are 2/3 of the way done! This is crazy! Only 9 weeks of work to go and then it's graduation week. :) So week 17 was another good one. He got tased lol He said it hurt, he tried to crawl away from it but it was worth it to be here. And he also certified in pistol which is huge! I thought one area that was going to be harder for his was shooting but I guess he is a natural. He was actually just 1 second away from certifying Expert in it. He was just happy to pass and move on. Lol this next week the juniors are finally coming! The staff willbe looking at them to be leaders and really step up more. Other than that this week shouldn't be too crazy, I think just certifying in shotgun maybe. Week 19 will be and he will need all kinds of prayer for it. It is his senario week which means the whole week they're tested on the different scenarios, randomly. We were practicing them a bit, as in he was telling me the steps on what he would do and he seems like he has it all together. :) once we get past that he will feel like he can breathe just a bit easier so keep praying that his brain holds all this information he needs lol. And hopefully we will get the dream sheet in the next 2 weeks too so we have some idea where his office will be and I can start looking for our first place! Many great things are happening in the next 10 weeks! And I am so ready for the excitement after than and to finally feel like a married couple :) 

UPDATE: a few of the tans are in!!! Eeeee!!! Hopefully his are on so this can really bring it all to reality and give him that little push to go harder! :)
