This Is Us

So... HE DID IT. He passed the physical tests, but we won't find out about the written tests for a couple weeks. They have to send them off to be "graded". He did 30 push-ups in 30 seconds, 25 sit-ups in 25 seconds, and ran the mile and a half in 10 minutes. He was the first to complete the push-ups and sit-ups, and there were only about 4 people ahead of him in the run. We are going to start running every night, so that he doesn't "die" when he starts the academy. They train for about 4 hours everyday, so he wants to be prepared. I am so very PROUD of him. When he called me after he had finished and told me how well he did, I started crying (I'm crying right now). I knew he could do it! I really look up to him for what he is doing. I don't think there is any way I would be able to do it. Thank You Nicolas for taking these big steps to help our family! You are the best Husband and Father! I am so glad You are Ours!!! I Love You Soul Mate!!!

So Nick is taking the Academy testing right now. It started at 8:00 and will go till about 12:30. He has to take the written and the physical test. I know he will pass, without any problems, but he is really worried about it. I told him not to worry, because anything he puts his mind to, he can do. When he passes the tests he will start the academy the middle of August, I believe. The academy is about 6 weeks and then he will graduate. When he calls me around 12:30, I'll post that he passed, because I know he will. :) I am so excited for our family... this will be great.
