We Are So Proud!

Today our Dear Son In Love graduated "With Honors" from the Sheriff Academy. He was #1 overall in the class!

It's been a long process and he has worked so hard and worried so much. Late nights of coming home dog tired to the job of washing and pressing his uniforms for the next brutal day are over. Being yelled at, working out like mad, being beat up as he practiced arrests and shooting a million rounds a week are over.

His little family has been very patient (most of the time)with his total mental and physical exhaustion and his lack of desire to go and do things in the evening. We're so glad that he was able to make it through the entire academy and come out not only alive but kicking and on top.

We are SO Proud of you Popeye!

After the graduation there was a nice quiet gathering of close friends and family at his sister's house. About 40 people enjoyed the great food and better company. Our poor Dear Grandson was so good through the long ceremony and the party even though he was sick and exhausted. Our dear daughter was beaming and giddy all day. She loves him so much and is thrilled that he's ready for the next part of his career.

Hu-Rah for our boy! May you change the lives of those you come in contact with, just as you've changed our lives since you became a part of our family. We love you!
