I am home from church because Gus is asleep. I would normally wake him up and take him but he had a rough day yesterday and this morning so now that he is finally asleep, I don't want to wake him. I am not sure if he is sick or just having a few bad days but the poor little guy just isn't too happy. I will go to church when he wakes up. Nate took Zoee to church and the house is so quiet.
I am sitting here thinking about how grateful I am for my husband. His post about graduation was so sweet and it made me feel so good. I don't feel like I deserve any of the credit for him making it through the last 10 weeks. If anything, I feel like I should have done more to help him. I offered a lot of times to shine his boots or read his homework and he kindly declined saying he needed to do it himself. (I don't think he wanted me to mess up the shine on his boots that he worked so hard to get!) I am SO proud of him for working so hard and doing his best during the academy. I know that there were many nights when he went to bed dreading the next day. There were so many nights he would get home and go upstairs to study or work on homework. I tried to keep the kids entertained and not bug him but there were some times I just needed him and he was always willing to help even when he had stuff to do. He got up early to make it there on time and he always made sure to kiss me goodbye when he left. That meant so much to me. He is just a good man to do what he has for our little family. I know how important it is to him to provide for us and I am so thankful he has found something that he will enjoy doing. He will be very good at his work! I know, because he is strong, physically and mentally. (and he has tried a few of the things they do to restrain people on me and it works really well!!) I look forward to seeing him acheive his goals and advance in his career. Looking at him in that uniform isn't too bad either!
I love you baby. I love you more than you will know. I am so proud of you. Thank you for giving me everything I have ever wanted in my life. I love you to the moon and back.

Nice post, Stac. Nathan is so much like Howard in so many good ways. So much of what you wrote, I could have written about Howard. We're both lucky.
I love the last two posts. You two are a great couple who truly appreciate each other and that's so important. Getting through school when you're married and have kids is hard, but it's so worth it in the end.
Stac, you do deserve some credit, because going through an academy without a supportive wife can destroy a career before it even gets started! You were a great support to Nate, and you played a big part in him making it through. Don't underestimate your role in his graduation! You both work together and support each other, and it's great to see! Since two of us can carry firearms, I think we should make shooting part of the big ol' family camp-out!! What do you think Sarah, Beth, and Rick? :)
I agree uniforms are hot!!!
Uh, you know I WAS on the ROTC rifle team at one time. Guns don't scare me. If I'm there, I'd shoot!
Oh and Beth you in a Uniform WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, Tyler, I am out on bringing unnecessary violence to the family campout. I think the Coke vs. Pepsi war is about all I can handle. Thanks.
Congratulations to both of you! That is exciting! I can't believe Nate is a real police officer! Way to go! I love the uniform too, especially the gloves!
Violence?!?!?! I didn't say we were going to kill anything.....geez...no fun.... :(
