CONGRATULATIONS, HONEY!!!

Yep, my sweetie graduated from the academy last night!! I am so super proud of him!! He gave the class speech, which was such an honor!! He graduated 6th out of about 25 guys, which was also a great accomplishment. I took the kids over in the morning tot he final flag ceremony where the seargent presents the class to the Chief, and the kids got to take a tour of the facility and eat donuts (of course! LOL) Then the graduation ceremony was in the afternoon. I was so proud of everyone!!!! He has been working with some really good guys, the guys that are going to his department all made it through the academy and took 6 of the top 10 spots. There was 1 female and she took the #1 spot (of COURSE!)LOL It was fun because we have gone to a few different events and I have gotten to know the guys and some of the wives, so it was fun to see them graduate as well. Its just an all-around great group of people. Very cool! I'm planning a little party to celebrate with all our friends and family that couldn't come for this weekend. There is a cool DVD that they made of the class and all of the stuff they did, some of the funny mistakes and of them getting tazed and stuff. Hee hee. W'll show that at the party and have some yummy food. Good times.







This is us at the early morning flag ceremony. All the other pictures are on my moms camera, I will get them on tuesday. Hopefully there wil be some good ones. :D
