Hello bloggers!!

I'm L and I'm married to an LEO (law enforcement officer) and let me tell ya...if you thought being a cop was hard, try being married to one. They have tremendous stress in their line of work, crappy schedules, not the greatest pay and are really despised most places they go. You see, their the bad guys, the pain in the asses of the people they stop and ticket for breaking the law....but how dare them they stop me, right? I love my husband to the ends of the earth, and if I didn't I wouldn't be able to bare this line of work for him. All of the dinners with just me and the kids, school programs missed, and generally feeling like a single mom most of the time is hard to handle sometimes. Luckily I have a wonderful support system and that really helps. Plus being married to one of the greatest men I know is a plus.

R and I were high school sweethearts and got married when I was 18 and he was 19. We are about to celebrate our 8th anniversary and when I think back on what all we have been through it amazes us every day we made it. R was hired with the department not long before our first little one was born. He worked his way up from the jail to dispatch for almost six years and early last year was one of five sent to the academy. He was so proud and excited...he had wanted this so badly for so long, and with every option for school seemingly a dead road, he finally got a break. With a wife and baby at home, you hate to leave a stable government job for a what if at a different agency, you know? So he's finally doing exactly was he's always wanted and I'm so proud of my wonderful husband.

I've dealt with the crappy days off, shift work and no holidays off for almost seven years, so that's nothing new to me, but sending him out in a world that lets face it is pretty nasty is still pretty fresh. I love him and our life together, and I'm getting numb to the whole fact of danger, but some days are harder than others.

So, that is the point of this blog. My family has a website, but I'd rather not put my personal stuff on there. I share enough as it is and with this I'm going to be selfish, he he!!
