Well, if you look at Crawford or me this week, you are going to see a smile on both of our faces because we are complete again. Jason is home. These pictures are from his graduation of FLETC or Federal Law Enforcement Training, which means, I am the wife of one of your newest Federal Agents that trained with the Department of Homeland Security. Kind of crazy, huh! I am so proud of him and so is Crawford. He likes daddy's shiny new badge. Graduation was really neat once we got through the check points where they could not find Mammy Jo's name and we were told Jason could come "claim" her later. I was almost in freak out mode, but thankfully we found her name and the nice lady gave her a pass to get in with us to the graduation. It was very surreal when driving into the place to see the gates and double fences into it. The sign at the front said "where we train those that protect your homeland". I guess I had put in the back of my mind what this means for our family. The graduation ceremony started with the candidates getting their last uniform inspection which Liz and I went to take pictures of in the 103 degree heat. I felt sorry for them standing in the blistering sun in long sleeved uniforms perfectly still. It seemed to us that it was forever, so I can only imagine what they were thinking standing out there. Jason's mom (Liz) flew in to Jacksonville, Fl and brought Aunt Vickie with her to graduation and then there was me, Crawford, Mammy Jo, my mom and daddy. It was a great turnout since we had a 17 hour drive to get there. But that is another story to come under a different title. :) It was a very interesting graduation, short and to the point so that we could get our guys back and spend some quality family time with them.
