Yay for Halloween!! I was lucky enough to have off work last year and had a blast handing out candy with Mike and my parents. The dogs barked every time kids came to the door and they definitely liked the candy smells. I'm even luckier to be off this Halloween as well. We had great decorations last year and even better ones this year! And of course we're still going to have the super scary music playing, which scared the kids last year. Such a good time! This year has been more hectic and busy, but it's still going to be a blast!
Updates on everything...Mike is still doing great in school, work, and the National Guard. I got in a car accident at work last Monday, which was scary. I was running code to another officer, looked up from the computer to get his location, heard a loud bang, nailed the curb which blew out my right front tire, went spinning across four lanes of traffic, hit the concrete wall on the passenger side, slid about 20 ft, and then stopped. I nailed my left hand on something in the car and nailed my right leg and arm on something. I ended up going to JPS to get x-rays and everything came out fine. The doctor said my arthritis got extremely aggravated, which is why my hand looked broken. My right leg and arms had a bunch of bruises, which hurt like crazy. And of course I was super sore. I went back to work Friday night, but I did have my breakdown moment just like when I got in the shooting. It was scary putting the uniform back on and going back out there. I love my job, but there are definitely A LOT of risks! I qualify tonight so I'm hoping it all goes well! I can't do the double action trigger pull with my left finger, but I'm going to try it with my middle finger. I'll be good on my right hand though!
The teaching certification classes are going well! I really like learning about techniques for teaching, how to relate to the kids, and all around better our future generations. There is a whole lot of work with online courses, viewing classrooms, going to class, reading, extra classes required, etc. I'm back in school again for a crammed two months! Haha. It's weird, but I'm enjoying it. Other than that, nothing else is really going on. We hope everything is going well for everyone! We love and miss you guys!
