Graduation and .......



I have been waiting and waiting for Brit to give everyone an update but it just hasn't happened so I will step in. I have to remind myself that I did marry a girl that rides the technology short bus but that's okay, I still love her. Well I graduated from Fire academy and received my state certifications as Firefighter1 and Firefighter 2 as well as hazardous materials awareness and operations. It was definitely a bitter sweet moment. I made some good buddies and will miss lighting and fighting fires with them. I just need to get a job now. I have a lot of testing opportunities coming up, and luckily, it seems there are a lot of departments hiring or about to hire.
Me and one of the guys in my engine company (AKA Rex- He has little arms)

I'm not going to lie to you, that's me, slaying a fire.
One word- Unity. haha. I asked the Instructor to make these guys hold hands.

Another shot.





Here's a video I put together at the last minute for the class.



And finally, I know most of you have heard the rumors......Yes Brit is PREGO! Just a little crazy, but we are very excited. She is just over 11 weeks. We were able to hear the baby's heart beat a few weeks ago and so far everything seems healthy. It's a little nerve racking for me, becoming a dad. I don't feel like I am old enough yet but I am very excited at the same time. So any advice is welcome, feel free to comment away.
