A Police Officer as a Husband

Josh just graduated from the SLCPD academy. I am so proud of him. He has always been the person who goes with whatever he decides and feels good about and then puts his whole heart, soul, and energy into it. I love that about him. He was/is fully dedicated. He loved his instructors and had a ton of fun (besides the pepper spray day and the taser day==in which they had to be actually sprayed and tased). It's been a long ride, seeming that it's been about a year from application to graduation. He is now doing his field training and is really enjoying it.
The graduation itself was a really good experience. I might have gotten a little teary eyed a couple of times. He got sworn in, badge pinned on, and some advice given from Chief. I had the opportunity to pin his badge on and I am extremely grateful for that, it meant alot. Lot's of pictures were taken and Chief made it a point to everyone that this is their time, take lots of pictures, this is a special experience and it was.
We had a bbq that night with family and friends to celebrate. Lot's of good food and company, it was a blast. Needless to say I didn't get a single picture from the bbq. My bad.
Thank you to everyone who has shown their love and support to us and especially him during this time! We love you all!
Here are some pictures of his graduation...I really do officially have a police officer as a husband...craziness!
*Good job babe-I love you!
