Ok, wow, I haven't updated my blog in so long, this is horrible. So, I will try to catch everyone up a little. I will first start off with Robert's graduation. So as most of you know Robert was in the CHP academy. Well he graduated in May and is patrolling in good ol' L.A. Cities within L.A. such as Compton and Inglewood, you know safe places like that. He not only is on the highway, he is on the streets as well. He loves his job and couldn't be happier. He has had a couple exciting arrests but has not seen any horrible car accidents or horrible deaths yet, thank goodness. Both of our families are extremely proud of him! Please keep your prayers with him. Here are some pictures of graduation week.
I was so excited to finally visit this place in Sacramento that was so foreign to me. Robert lived here for six months and until graduation week I was not allowed to take a tour! The entire academy process was long and tough for both of us (Robert more so of course). We had never been away from eachother so long. He went through long grueling days and nights, countless hours of practice and studying and little sleep. The staff there even put him on the "Fat Table." What in the world? Robert is so skinny. So the entire six months he was rail thin and bald!

This picture was taken on during the "Capital Run." This run was a 5 mile run from the CHP academy to the Capital buliding at 5 am! This run is very special, it represents the transition from Cadet to Officer. Many loved ones of the Cadets gather to cheer them on. When the Cadets finally arrived at the Capital building I just broke down into tears. Everything was finally over and all the stress from the academy had ended.

240 Cadets started this journey and 173 finished it!


This was taken at the graduation party.







We went out to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack with his family one night.


I am so proud of Robert and Love him so much! HOO RAH!
