Ya'll may (or may not) have noticed that I've been absent from the boards for the last week or two. Lotsa things have come up at work that required me to be focused on work and nothing else.

Yesterday, my life instantly changed (for the better). Due to some unforeseen circumstances, some things got changed around at work and I'll be changing positions. Remember the post a while back about me trying out for K9?

Well..... I got it. 🙂

I leave September 12 for 8 weeks of training in Wilmington, NC. I just got back home from training with the team today and we walked and ran (but mostly ran) a little over 8 miles through dense brush and woods in full gear. I didn't know my body and mind could do that, but I succeeded without passing out or throwing up.

I'm very excited about what this means for me and my family. This is a position I'll never be able to go back from and will change my life.

Sooooo..... to all who said a kind word and prayed for me.... thanks.

Have a good day!

I agree with all the well wishers. I'd love the chance to take your carreer course. 'cept I'm old, fat and blasted.
