Tucson and Snowflake!

On the 8th of July, We traveled down to tucson AZ, it was such a long trip! and right when we were only 20 miles from our hotel it started pouring down rain! It was so crazy and bad enough that we had to get off of the freeway because we could not see at all, really like inches thick of water in just like 20 minutes! Anyway so we got to our hotel, which was amazing :)-- ((thank you hotwire))-- the next day we took the day to swim and enjoy, well nothingness, until that evening when we went to the Tucson police recruiting seminar. It was really informative and has definitely helped us to better prepare. They started out trying to scare the applicants and families out of applying, which is understandable there were over 500 applicants but we considered the things that they told us long before Josh applied. Anyway, on to happier things. There was a cute lady there who i became friends with because both of our husbands were applying. yay for nice people. Hopefully they made it through the first cut.

The morning after going to the seminar we headed up to snowflake, AZ to visit my grandparents and my grandpas siblings. They were sos hospitable and nice! It was nice to relax with them and learn more about my older extended family. I got to visit a lot with my grandma who helped raise me, she is the best! I love her so much and hope she'll get to visit us someday too! After leaving Snowflake on Sunday with a car loaded full of goodies for the road from everyone we finally ended our long(ish) trip and were glad to be sleeping in our own bed again!

:) So on the next monday an email was supposed to go out to those applicants who made the first cut through background checks and resumes and all that inviting them to the testing next weekend (the 25th) and it took all day (until like 6 pm) of waiting and worrying for the email finally to come. Josh had tricked me once by saying it came so while i was making dinner he got the email and came in and hugged me from behind and said so nonchalantly that he got it so i thought he was lying, it took like 15 minutes to convince me! :) but it came!!! so we'll be going down to tucson again on friday!! Wish us luck and PRAY for us! PLEASE!!
