Well it was only a couple weeks ago that all of this became as real as it is today. We woke up two Mondays ago living our lives like normal, when I got a call and my husband was at work. It was his Chief and he wanted me to have Eric call him right back.

There it was. The life changing call at 10 am. I was sitting there waiting for a call back from my husband to tell me if he got it or not, after testing both written and phyical tests, and interviews and everything under the sun. It all happened so fast, and then he called.

His answer was , YES. He got it. He was so happy, I hadn't heard him feeling so excited in such a long time. It was nice to here the pleasure in his voice. When we hung up, I realized I had a ball in my throat. I was scared to death and happy as could be. It was such an intense moment for us, and for me. I wasn't sure at the moment how I would feel about this new life. I was scared of losing my husband, but I also wanted to support him and make him as happy as could be with this chance.

That Sunday after, he was at the Academy, for a long 14 weeks of training. I was sure I was going to hate this. I miss him so much and our kids do as well. It is hard to see that this is ever going to end , but I know it will. He needs to learn everything he can, and so that way he is safe and knows what he is doing. After the Academy he will then need to learn the real stuff and have to live it. I know he will be amazing.

This is our new life, and I want to indulge myself into it, so Im happy I found this website!!
