Days 33-35!

Another weekend came and went so fast! These weekends are flying by but at least that means the total number of weeks left are shrinking! J got home pretty early Friday night and I greeted him with a dinner I cooked! I was pretty proud of myself considering J is usually the chef 😜. Over dinner he told me about his day. He had 2 BIG EVOC tests.. The kind where it's pass/fail and if you fail you're dismissed from the academy. Fortunately though, J passed both of them on his FIRST attempts πŸ€—. He said it took some cadets multiple attempts but luckily no one in his company failed out. J did say it was a long day because once he was done with his tests, he had to sit and wait for everyone else to finish. He did enjoy listening to his fellow cadets on the radio when they were taking their tests. We scarfed down dinner then just watched tv and relaxed. Saturday was our usual laundry day. It had snowed a couple days ago, so the roads were slick and icy. J joked that since he passed skid pan we'd be okay if we slid around 😏. We ran a couple more errands then spent Saturday watching football, hanging out, studying and cooking yummy chili. Today was a somewhat hectic day. Another storm is supposed to pass through and it's been raining all day. Because of that, all the snow is melting and we're in a flood warning. Our backyard looks like a dirty make shift pool, and when I walked into the garage, I noticed part of it was starting to slowly flood! Since my parents are in Oregon taking my sister back to school, I decided to call out from work that way I could be here in case it got worse. J and I used some bags filled with rocks and old snow sleds to help divert water. So far- it's been holding up! J left in the early afternoon and is taking his time getting back to Sacramento. He's passed some make shift waterfalls and mud slides, so I'm glad he's taking his time. I'll probably head back into the garage after this and run on the treadmill because of the weather. I can't believe he has 23 weeks left to go! I know he can do it though! 

35 days down... 159 to go!!
