Ben is now a Sergeant on the police department!
Exciting!!
It means that he'll be back on the streets--this time as a BOSS!!! (The supervisors part is both exciting and nerve wracking for him. It's a big jump!)
I'm excited to get to go on "ride alongs" with him again. They are so fun!
When he was an officer, I had the worst luck, though. Nothing very exciting ever happened.
One time we had a call where a naked crazy guy was running down the street. I most felt sad for him because he really was crazy.
Another time we were on a call and Ben was getting the scoop from this girl/prostitute. It wasn't until until about 5 minutes in and after hearing him call her Dwayne 3 or 4 times before I finally realized she was actually a boy. He/she wasn't even remotely convincing as a girl. I'm an idiot!
My ride alongs have always been fun, but I want to go on one where something really exciting happens.
Like news worthy exciting!
I've got high hopes now that he's back on the streets!!

He did great!
I was mostly just glad I got to actually be there this time!
With his new position he also has a completely different work schedule.
I'm excited that his days off will now be during the week--it will be just the two of us while the kids are at school!!--but it means that he's now going to be MIA during our weekend activities.
I'm sad about that.
For now he has really inconvenient hours as far as family time goes. but we're hoping in the next month or two, when everyone gets settled into their permanent positions, he will move to a different shift and be able to join us a bit more in our fun times!
It's just going to take us awhile to get use to that type of schedule again. (We've been spoiled with him working as a detective with normal hours.)
Either way were really excited and proud of him.
He's going to do excellent!!
