Well, it's been a while. I've been off the boards, mostly because I've just been too damn busy to even pay attention to what I ate for breakfast. Life has been hectic (in a good way), and I just let a lot of things slide as I tried to juggle. Jon's passing has brought everything crashing down, however, and also brought me back to where I first met the hilarious giant bastard at; CP.
Lots of new faces here, and definitely one fewer of the familiar ones. Shit.
Let's see here...what has happened in the past couple years?
Well, I married a long time highschool friend, who only became something more after reconnecting after a long time of not seeing each other. Amazing woman, amazing wife, and couldn't be happier. Hell, she loves that I smoke cigars, take bad guys to jail, and doesn't ever nag me as long as I make sure to tell her I love her every day. Seems a damned good price to me. That was October of 2012.
Started patrol training after six plus years of working for my department doing prisoner transport. I spent four and a half months working a pretty fast and fun station. I then transferred to my final destination to finish up training. I am now done, and a proudly "pinned" and eager new guy working a line car. It's busy, thankless work at times, but I work with some great cops and I love my job.
The same week I was told I was done with training, I found out my wife and I are going to be parents with our first child. Definitely the best moment of my life so far. It was planned, but that didn't take away from the surprise and elation. Looks like it's going to be an October baby, which is funny considering our anniversary is at the end of October. What a great month.
That's it in a nutshell. I've missed herfing, and I've been telling myself the moment I was done with patrol training (and the 16+ hour days that come with it, five days a week), I'd reconnect.
Hopefully I can come to the next herf and see some of you guys again.
