July

Yep.
I missed July.
A lot happened in July too!

My husband had another birthday. He hates that. Which makes me hate it too.

Also in July, my Mom and I went to California. My youngest niece graduated from the Sheriff's Academy. In a million years, I never would have said that she was tough enough to be a Sheriff. Man was I wrong! She is BAD ASS! And not just bad ass attitude but seriously, bad ass. I'm so proud of her. The ceremony was so special. Mayors, police Chiefs, lots of other Sheriffs, were in attendance. It was good stuff.

 This is one proud dad!

And in case you ever wondered what that "thin blue line" means...

The thin blue line represents the police. Above it, is the public and below it, are the criminals. So all that stands between you and the bad guys, are the police. I didn't know that until last month. cool.

And of course there was was a celebration afterwards!

That's the niece I know and love!! :-)

My brother is one of the best people I know <3
