Week Two: Check!

Today marks the official end of week two in the Academy!  Woo hoo!  According to the instructors, the recruits have completed 7 classes thus far!  Constitution & Amendments Class: check...Multiculturalism Class: check...Stress Management Class: check, check...Class 4,5,6 &7: check, check, check &check.  The moment of enjoying the success is brief.  Class 8, 9, 10, 11 await. 

David's been working hard hitting the books and hitting the gym.  PT happens 3 days a week now - Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  On these days, David's up "at the crack of butt" (aka: 4:30 a.m.) getting ready to head out to be yelled at (aka: weird form of encouragement) and beat down (aka: built up).  Since I'm not able to sleep once he leaves, I too get up at the "crack of butt", mosie-on down stairs at around 5:30 and lay on the couch for a good 2 hours (aka: waking up).  By the end of the day, we're like two old people - David with his aches and pains and the both of us ready to hit the sack at 8:30p.m.  Sigh.

While David's away getting beat down and crammed with information, I'm still getting our little place just right and taking the occasional visit to near-by shops.  Today, I witnessed the take down of a store thief by Wal-Mart security!  It was quite the scene!  Security personnel apprehended the guy in the parking lot and walk-wrestled him from the door in the garden center, through the store and to the office near the doors by the pharmacy.  Koodoos to Wal-Mart security...they are not to be messed with!

God is good all the time!  I praise Him for caring us through these weeks of mind and body overload.  God got us to where we are, and I know He'll carry us through!  Please continue to pray....we appreciate it!
