Soon to be....Officer Sanchez

These 2 weeks that Luis has been home he's been going through the Austin Police Dept application/hiring process. He had a great recruiter that hooked him up and let him do the whole hiring process from start to finish while he was here in town which usually is months worth of steps. This morning he had his final 'test' which was the oral board, presenting himself in front of 5 police officers high up in the ranks. After all his hard work he has passed all tasks of the APD hiring process. Now based on his overall score that will determine whether or not he gets hired on, but from what the LT told him today chances are he will be hired on with the APD, but we will get a letter in the mail letting us know for sure.

I'm, as always, extremely proud of Luis. He always accomplishes anything he puts his mind to, he's so amazing. Now am I excited about him being a cop, um..not really, but I am proud of him. Having to constantly worry about my husband's safety isn't something I get excited about but I've always had to worry so I guess it's nothing new. But I am excited that more than likely he has been hired on and has a job when he gets out of the ARMY, so we'll be able to transition smoothly and not go months without him having a job and looking for a job. God has truly blessed us and taken care of us through all these years and I'm so grateful.

Now on another, but sad, note, Luis does leave first thing tomorrow morning. Saying goodbye is always so hard, especially having to tell Ashlyn everyday that Daddy had to go back to work for awhile. But 6 more months and then he's home for good and we are back in Austin. But it has been a blast having him here. I'll be posting again soon with pictures from our date night in San Antonio.

I just had to brag about my wonderful husband and all the hard work he does to take care of his family. Soon he'll no longer be SSG Sanchez but Officer Sanchez. It's bittersweet. But I'm loving him in a suit! Had to take some pictures of that!
