E-5 promotable!!!

Thomas passed the E-6 board this morning!!!! That means he's promotable and will be getting promoted to E-6 as soon as he meets the point requirements. It will be very soon I'm sure :) He's movin' on up!!!!!

I'm not allowed to post pictures of me in uniform, so you'll just have to imagine what I looked like at the pinning ceremony. I looked pretty cool ;) I've been on the streets for two weeks now and it's AWESOME!!! I LOVE it. The poor people of Savannah have been getting tickets like CRAZY!!! Hahahaha. If I have to pay the outrageous $330 every year for the Mazda's car tag, then SO DO THEY!!! I HATE seeing people with expired tags. I know, everyone has a story (excuse) but if you can't afford it then DON'T DRIVE. Sympathy isn't my strong point obviously.
Anyways, just a tip if you ever decide to drive in Savannah..........I have one PTO that hates expired tags as much as I do and another that will write her own grandma a ticket for not wearing a seat belt! She says if she has to wear one then so do they. So don't get caught without your seat belt on here! She had me pull someone over for no seat belt and you better believe he got a ticket! I asked him why he wasn't wearing it when I pulled him over (because of course he had it on when I walked up to his car) and he said he was just going a couple blocks. He didn't argue though, he knew he was busted.
For those that don't know already, I work downtown. And for those that came to visit, that's where River Street is and where all the fountains are.
I wish I could say Thomas is enjoying his job as much as I'm enjoying mine, but I'm pretty sure I'd be lying. I actually don't have a clue what they've been doing all day since most of his unit's gone.
Well, today's my last day off and our fridge is empty so it's time for me to go shopping!
Hope everyone is having fun and I'll try to show Thomas how to log in so he can start writing posts. I have showed him before but I think he needs written directions ;)

Hopefully most of you have heard by now that Thomas is still here! He found out about a week before he was scheduled to that he was one of the lucky few selected to stay behind because they had too many people deploying. He's on standby so he could deploy at any time during the next year, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

I have two more weeks of patrol school and then I hit the streets. After I find out where I'll be working we plan on looking for a house to buy!!! Our lease is up this November and we would LOVE to be out of here by Christmas. We'll see if we can get things done that fast. When I sit down and think about it that's not much time to find, buy, and move into a house.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July. We are going to spend time with this cute pup.

last weekend

We don't have too many pics from last weekend because we were having too much fun. Thank you Mom, Dad, Gordon, Cliff, Nick, Joy, Caryn, big Richard, and my handsome husband for a great weekend. I had so much fun and I hope we can do it again soon....at our house.

catching up

Little Richard came to visit two weekends ago and I am just now getting around to posting pictures. Richard-we had tons of fun and we're so glad you could make it out.
They golfed while I went to study group. This was the weekend before my last week at the acadamy so I had to study for my final.
Ana of course loved the extra attention.

Even though Thomas crashed 5 minutes into our beach trip, we had lots of fun.

He was proud of that wound ;)

The Crab Shack

Gators at The Crab Shack

Maybe one too many.

Kristen and I downtown. I think she's hiding her drink.....don't let her fool you ;)

Thanks for the fun weekend. Hopefully next time Sara and the girls can come! Maybe we'll have a house with a big yard by then. See you soon!

just a start

Couldn't have done it without you handsome!
We did it!!! If you ever make it to Savannah you'll have the pleasure of meeting Kristen. Lt. Hill swore we were attached at the hip.
