Officer Powers Lane

I couldn't be more proud of my man! This past Friday, Powers graduated from Police Academy. It was long, it was hard... he was maced, he was tazed, he was gassed, but he persevered and made it through! And, he came out on top! Powers graduated 4th in his class! I must admit, there has been a lot of eye rolling on my part over the last 6 months... mostly for my annoyance that they had to buy so much gear to actually become a police office (note to anyone who's hubbs is thinking of signing up... SAVE UP!) but when I saw my man walk across the stage, I couldn't have been more proud! HE DID IT!!

And, he came with a wolf pack of support! His supporters: His folks, Renny, my mom, brother, and sis-n-law, Timmy (one of the world's greatest), the Lane's best friend Gail (all the way from Jxn), annnnnd hailing from ARIZONA..... LIZ!!! Family best friend and 2nd mom to Powers. She came all the way across country to be there for him! He is loved!

Here is a video of the ceremony. This is his graduating class entering, saying their class moto, then taking their vow of service.



Here are pictures from our day! Out of order because this thing never works how I want it to!

Home from his 1st day of work!

Well, were 4 days in and he's given out a number of traffic violations, arrested a few folks for domestic violence, found drugs, and been on the scene of a death (natural death, praise the Lord). So, pray for us. This sure got real really quickly! 

We're proud of you my mind! Thank you for enduring all that you went through for our family! We love you so!
