My dh is graduating from his FLETC academy today. Somehow we made it through the past 5 1/2 months. It was so hard at first, and like you all said it would, it got better. I still miss him being there everyday, but I know in the long run it will be worth it. I'm very proud of him and after today he will officially be an ICE Special Agent. It's a safer job than what he was doing. If you've read my archives, or have been reading my blog for a few years, you'll know that he was shot in the line of duty (Mar. 04). He was shot in the leg and the recent death of the football player Sean Taylor has brought this all so close to home. The wound in my husband's leg was an inch away from hitting the femoral artery. I'm so grateful that he is here. I'm grateful he is here to follow his dream of being a Federal Agent.
I'll be driving up to our house in Georgia with him tonight and we'll start packing everything up and loading the U-Haul to move everything to the apartment in Charleston. It will be a busy few days. I brought my stitching, but if I actually stitch it will probably be a miracle! :) Well, not much else. I'll be back Sunday! Write later!
Congratulations to your DH! I had no idea about the shooting, how awful!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip, although it sounds like it will be more work than play!
A great big congratulations to your DH, and a happy sigh of relief for you that he'll be in a less perilous career!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your husband and good luck to you both. It will be a tough couple months, but you'll get through it.
ReplyDeleteYEA Chris!!! That is awesome! Have a safe trip up there and back, we need to get together when you get back!!
ReplyDeleteCongrads to your husband, Nicole. I didn't know about the previous shooting but thank God he was OK from it all. Take care and safe journeying - happy packing and wishing you moments of stitching when you can!

ps...Hate Rory right now...hope she grows up into a better 'tude soon! :)
Wow! That went by fast...for me anyway. I feel like it was just yesterday that he started. I'm sure it seems like longer to you. Congratulations to you both!
ReplyDeleteMany heartfelt congratulations! I'm so happy for you both!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations !!! That's great! Are you going to leave Florida to mive In Georgia?
ReplyDeleteI did not know what your husband had gone through. I wish you and your husband the best life has to offer.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting time for you both! Congratulations to your DH!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Nicole! West wishes to you and your DH.
ReplyDeleteI can't beleive how much you've gotten done in the couple of weeks I was on blogging hiatus.
Congratulations on a successful career shift for your husband. The containers and people that Customs officials search generally don't shoot back. Whatever moving you need to do will be worth it to get back together again. Stitching will wait.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Well done to you both :) Best wishes for your packing up and moving etc
ReplyDeleteI know your glad his school is done! Big congrats to both of you :-). Have a fun safe weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations to your husband. I am happy that he will be going to a safer job.
ReplyDeleteThat is so crazy about Sean Taylor. DBF and I were watching Monday Night Football and the announcers made it sound as if he were going to pull through and then he died the next day. Your husband is very lucky.
Be careful on the roads and have a safe trip!
Congratulations to your DH & you! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteTravel safe! Don't work tooooo hard! Ugh, moving & packing.... but it's part of the journey!
Talk soon!

Congratulations to you and your DH! Love your new starts.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a new cop and I worry every day. Congrats to your DH about his new job. I look forward to seeing some pics of your new location.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your hubby!!! Oh, we just got moved (Nov 30) and are trying to get everything settled--so I'll be thinking of you with that same job too!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and your husband. My family finally has moved and joined me here in Arkansas (from Utah).
ReplyDeletewe were separated for 4 mos, it was rough as I was in a tiny apt not in the greatest neighborhood. We are all together now in time for holidays.
Thank goodness for the support of internet friends!
Best of luck to you and your family. I had not idea your family had been thru the shooting.
My prayers are with you
Dear Nicole,
ReplyDeleteSo many happy greetings and congratulations to you and your husband for this great accomplishment. I know how difficult it was and how good it must feel to you both. We'll look forward to seeing you when you get home...and celebrating!!
Hugs,
Deb
