Well, its been over a month since I last posted. That is one of my pet peeves - having a blog and NOT posting regularly. Shame on me.

On Dec, 19 my daughter had our first grandchild - a 5lb 11oz girl - Holly Ann! That same afternoon, we had the worst ice storm the city has seen in over 12 years. We lost power for 5 days, but after a day, I pulled our 1985 RV around and wired the generator into our electric panel and was able to power up the entire house. The rest or our family had problems where I had to tend to their generators, heat, and other ice issues.

Now my other daughter is expecting a girl too! Any day now she'll be coming. Things for us are going to change.

On Jan 12, I graduated from the Sheriff's Academy and starting to get my feet on the ground with that now too. Right now I just facilitate inmate vistation, but this past Friday night I was able to ride with another officer and do my first traffic shift. Nothing crazy, but it opened my eyes to what I really want to do with the ACPD. Working the road is where I feel I can help the public the most. My next step is to get hooked up with a Field Training Officer (FTO) where I can begin that training process.

Last spring I pursued, and was appointed to the city's Board of Zoning Appeals. I like that immensely. While I was in the academy, I had to miss a couple BZA meetings, but all went well without me. Go figure! So last week was the January meeting and I was elected president of the board! I didn't see that one coming, but I know it will work out just fine.

Yeah, I've been busy, but who isn't??! I hope to post some pics of my grand-daughters soon.
