Exciting Week

This week was busy, relaxing, exciting........ALL OF THE ABOVE! I had Friday off from work for the 4th of July and then my typical weekend off. Both Tyson and I were off from work on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday because his parents were coming in. It was nice to see Tyson have an extra day off.

First off, my long weekend started off with a ride along with the police department that Tyson works for. I rode with one of his buddies/fellow police officer on Saturday night. The night was slow. We pulled over a couple of people, which, by the way was SO FUN and funny at times. Let's just say that some people are interesting. Then, we get a code three call about a weapons disturbance and we "rode hot" from one side of the city to get to the other. Riding hot means to drive at 100+ MPH with the lights and sirens on to get to a call. Let me just say that that was the most fun, yet scariest experience ever!!!!!!! We drove really fast while dodging other cars for a good 3-5 minutes. All I could think was, "If a car is going to plow through us while were racing through an intersection......please do it quick so I don't feel a thing." When we finally made it to the location, my body heat had raised to about 100 degrees. I was fanning myself from my adrenaline running so high. Overall, I got to see what the police job is all about, and, YES.....I can see why some people get into it. It can be exciting and unpredictable at times....which is fun.........BUT..........I got to experience how dangerous it is. But, BOY was it an experience! I'm ready to do another ride again!

After that, Tyson's parents came into town and we pretty much hung out, did some wedding planning stuff, and they got to come to K9 training with Tyson and me to watch the bite/narcotics work with the other K9 dogs and officers. They also got to see Rosco in action. Tyson and I were really glad that they could come out to watch what this K9 business is all about. I know Tyson was more than overjoyed to share this experience with his parents. Tyson's mom took me to get started on looking at wedding dresses and that was FUN! It just started to feel so real when I was putting on those dresses and veils. I was excited that I was able to get some ideas on what looks best on me and what doesn't. I can't wait to take my sister and stepmom with me to see what they think. UGH! I just can't wait to get the dress! To me, this is a very important decision. I was one of those girls who dreamt up my wedding dress ever since I was a little girl............LITERALLY. Now my day has come and I have GOT to choose the perfect one. It's such an overwhelming, yet, an exciting experience.

On a final note, about four weeks ago, I took my TExES teacher certification exam to become certified and GUESS WHAT........................................TODAY I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD PASSED!!!!!!!! Wooooo!!!! I was so worried. It took me FOUR HOURS to take that thing and I remember thinking to myself that it was so hard and that I didn't think I would pass it. I have been biting my nails for the past four weeks worried over the darn thing, and now I know I passed it. I'm so relieved!!!

Well that's all that's new in the future Sutton household. Tyson and I are still busy as ever working, planning our wedding, and spending as much time as we can together. We get more and more excited as these months pass by and we get closer to the wedding.
