the countdown

Jordan starts the academy in 24 hours! We have been so busy trying to make sure everything is ready for him to start his first day. I kind of feel like a mother getting her kids ready for their first day of school...the list of things to do just never end.

  • We have been to store after store looking for specific things on his "school list." 
  • He has tried on his uniform several times and I had to even take in his shirt 6 inches because it was too baggy. (They are very strict with how you look). 
  • We made sure to get plenty of healthy snacks and lunch food for him because they have 6 hours of classroom time and 3 hours straight of working out so he definitely will need energy.
  • I've been doing laundry every night making sure all his uniforms, socks, etc are washed and ready to go. 
  • Jordan has been going over his list and making sure not to forget anything in his bag. 
  • He has been testing out some of his equipment which means I get to be flash/strobe in the face by different flashlights and handcuffed like a criminal several times. 
The list continues, but will soon come to an end along with all the piles of gear all around the house. 24 more hours!!!

  2. Hope all is going well with the academy... It will go quickly after a while just like a mission, those first few months always seem the hardest etc. Miss seeing you at the gym...
