Typical Me....

So, yeah...this is why I am not good at the typical journal writing...I don't update my journal in real life. Lets see if I get this one posted....my last one is lost in my drafts.
Saturday Korey started days....wow, this is going to be great! We will have more opportunities to spend time together as a family! The down side, is that he misses Church. He will only be able to attend on his rotation, since it is 4 days on, 2 days off....he will be off 1 to 2 times a month. Since he is on a new shift, a new platoon, he had to wait to request time off. We have been wanting to go to Tennessee to see mom and dad, and go as a complete family this time. I am excited to show the two Korey's everything that Tennessee has to offer us, there is so much to do there. So, now Korey has to work the OT baby (over time) to earn us some extra cash for the trip. He has not been able to work OT or the security job in 8 months, due to his foot surgery. Almost three years ago he was shopping at a Home Depot type home improvement store. He was buying sheet rock, and the person loading the truck, on the fork truck, dropped the forks down, and one of them right on Korey's foot. Long story short, this nearly completely severed his tendon in his foot. So, after a couple of years, and having the severe pain, they opted to do surgery on the foot to try to clean up the scar tissue on the tendon. He has not had on his police boots in 8 months, when he was on light duty he wore sandals. So, Saturday evening when he returned home from his first day on he was icing his foot. I worry about the long lasting problems he will have especially with the job he has.
Day 2 on the job, today, he was so excited to call home saying he was going to be late because he "just got a gun off the street, baby!!" So he was feeling the rush of the job again, pain in the foot and all.

Below are a couple of pics from a "Night Out" with the fire and police departments in Brockport. They don't relate to this post so much, but they are in a jail cell....so I tried to relate it to the post a little. They better NEVER find themselves in there with the door shut! (And yes, they all need hair cuts, but I am waiting a little closer to school to start....)
This one below was too cool to be in there with his brothers.....so he did it alone! He was too cool for everything....





Above are Jordan and Jacob with the 911 fox....forget what his real name is....
