Congrats Mike!!

After a year of trying my Mike finally got the job he has been trying to land. I am so proud of him! Congrats love!!

okay so its been awhile....

well its been awhile since i have been on here. life has been very busy. i now work for a dental office in Draper, I love it there the dentist i work for is the best. Mike is well on his way to becoming an officer! we are very excited about that he has one more task to do before its official. :). Amanda is in Kindergarten, my how time flies. I can't believe she is in school. My little Cam is just so full of life sometimes i just have to sit back and laugh at the things he does.
Christmas was wonderful, I love how when the kids come upstairs to see the tree and presents under the tree they giggle with excitement. they tore through all the gifts and played all day. Mandy got some barbies, babies and a doll house she was extremely excited about that. Cam got some toy guns that he was eager to play "shoot" with opa and dad. :)
I wish all of you a very happy new year! I hope all your wishes come true

Mike is graduating from P.O.S.T.!!!

I am so proud of Mike for accomplishing his goal. He is graduating from Weber State Police Academy on Friday July 31.This is a career he has wanted for as long as I have been with him, Now he has the opportunity to do it. Congratulations love, I'm proud of you.

Two weeks in and totally loving it.

Mike has been in the police academy for two weeks and he totally loves it. He has learned some defensive tactics that he practices on yours truely. lol Its crazy, yesterday he told me to try to punch him in the face, as a little nervous as I was I did. It didn't take him long to have my hand in this crazy twist and on the ground. He's getting pretty good at taking me down. lol.
He has his first test on Monday about the amendments and some laws, He is nervous but I think he will do well.

He's In!!!!

Mike made it into P.O.S.T.! I am so proud of him. He will star school April 6 at 7:45 a.m. and will be done around August 7. I am very excited for him.

update on police academy

Just wanted to thank those for the congrats they left on steph's facebook page, im not necessarily in the clear yet- registering for post just means now i have to pass a very extensive background test and another round of physical tests, i didnt have much time to prep for this round like i did for sandy, so i dont expect to pass as well as i did at the sandy tests, but im confident. after that i have 5 months of training- classes are from 8 to 5 during the week and then i work from 6 to midnight, which is a voluntary cut in work hours, so we get to look forward to no time with the family except weekends and a smaller paycheck- it will definatly test us. then i can only pray the economy picks up enough that the job market will produce a few more open positions. but like i said, im confident and this is the opportunity i've been waiting for.

Yay.

Mike is finally getting into the P.O.S.T. program at Weber State. :)
DWFS has given Mike the grant that will pay for post which is about $4800. Whooo hoo thank heavens for grants. He is already registered for class and the physical testing is on the 28th of this month and class begins on April 6th. (which also happens to be my moms birthday) so that will be a good day. The course runs 5 months and covers both moduels..

Module 1 - Special Functions Officer/Basic Corrections Officer (SFO/BCO) Curriculum provides training for certification as a Special Functions Officer/Auxiliary Officer and Corrections Officer.

Module 2 - Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Curriculum provides the remaining training necessary for certification of an officer with full police powers. [Entry requirements for Module 2 include certification as a Corrections, or Special Functions Officer (completion of Module 1 - SFO/BCO)]

We are very excited that Weber State is offering the combine class. If we went to any other school it would take 10 months.

Good luck babe! We're proud of you
