Today is the first day of the correctional academy for Jeff. It's supposedly "Hell Week" to weed out anyone that doesn't want to put in the time and effort, and get yelled at week after week. Basically, like boot camp all over again. He'll do great! lol. He's the class leader, and has been fielding calls for the past week of "What uniform are we supposed to wear?" "What time are we supposed to be there?" "Do I have to bring everything every day?" I think we're going to need to up our cell phone minutes.
I'm so excited for him. I know it's going to be a stressful 7 weeks for all of us, but this is a second career for him, as opposed to a job. It'll be a lot like the military, and the prisoners are probably more well behaved than our toddler. He's looking forward to losing weight, doing something new and worthwhile, and having weekdays off once he's done with the academy. I'm looking forward to him being fulfilled, not having to worry about money, and being able to do some new things during the week when he has days off. It's a win-win.
So if you get a chance, send him well wishes through FB or text, say a little prayer, and we'll be in touch.
