Catch Up Time

Time has gotten away from me again so here's a few things of importance that has happened since last post. Chris tested for a Corporal position way back I think Oct of 2012. Things do not move fast in law enforcement :) There was one position open at that time & after the test portion Chris was in first place. He scored highest on test. However after the interview portion he fell to second place & therefore was placed first on the "waiting list". I don't know the correct terms they use. The "waiting list" is used for one year so he knew he would become a Corporal in that time frame. So in about I believe it was Feb of this year he was asked if he'd be willing to go to patrol & be an acting Corporal because they were short handed. So he agreed. May of this year they finally had the promotion ceremony & family was invited. Stephanie got to attend since she was exempt from end of year semester testing so that was nice. His parents & I attended also. One of the first weeks back in patrol he helped save a lady from a burning mobile home with another officer so it's been exciting to say to the least.
Stephanie graduated high school & we are proud of her!!

Logan had a little 8th grade graduation & since it was a couple days to the end of school I wasn't able to take off & I can't remember why, but Chris couldn't get off either so we had Stephanie & Retha go & get us photos.
For Fathers Day I took a photo of the kids holding a banner that said I "heart" Dad because & then each of them came up with their own saying as to why they love him. It's funny they both involve playing.
