Days 169 & 170

Happy Tuesday everyone! It's been a pretty normal couple of days for the cadets still. Yesterday, the seniors had a late night again, so J and I didn't get to talk much. They had PT in the morning, then Spanish, boxing, DUI and vehicle code. J said boxing was fun because he's never done it before, but he felt like he "lost the fight". I laughed at him and said he better step it up next time. He did say his nose was a little tender since he did get punched in the face a couple of times. Luckily- they wore helmets. 
Today, I woke up just after midnight to a text from J wishing me a happy birthday. This is probably my first birthday since we've been together (12 years 😱) that we haven't been together on my birthday. But that's okay, because we'll celebrate this weekend! Once again, J had another late night at the academy. They had accident investigation all day, then their stress resiliency class. I called J after work and he said he felt bad he couldn't make my birthday special. I told him it was okay- we'll have plenty of birthdays in the future. We talked about our days and he sent me a picture of what they received today... GRADUATION TICKETS!! I was so stoked about that! We continued to talk about our day, and our plans for the weekend then I let J go so I could eat & he could finish getting all of his stuff ready. I'm so excited guys! Getting those tickets just show we're slowly getting there! 16 academy days left!!

170 days down.. 24 to go!!
