I finally got to meet the "guys"
It's probably obvious, but the world of law enforcement is a bit rough around the edges. LB doesn't really want me to hang with his LE buddies. He's afraid I can only handle so much of their sorid language and the brash, in-your-face humor. I think he doesn't know me too well.
A guy I went to highschool with who is also an officer at LB's Sheriff Office buried his older brother today and about a dozen LEOs showed up in uniform to carry the casket. Afterwards we went to eat with a couple of cops hubby works with in the security job he works on the weekends. I got to see his new Sgt, his big boss, and several of his other coworkers. It's so nice to have faces to the names! It's hard to keep up with the stories/personalities of a dozen or so officers when you have no face to put with their name.
It was great to see Shane ham it up with one of his good friends he works most Sunday afternoons with, and she restrained herself greatly-she only cussed a dozen times, lol. I actually liked her very much and would hang out with her if I had the chance.
So, this isn't terribly interesting to blog about, I'm sure, but I am feeling really good about it, and it's my blog :) I think it means a lot to me b/c I'm so social, b/c I pray for these people so often, and b/c this is a huge part of my dh's life. I push dh to set up times to hang out with his friends, but he always says he doesn't think I'd mesh with them bla bla bla. Dh is so laid back, he'll retire from this place I'm sure, so I love it that we can get to know some of his coworkers. Anyway, his two worlds collided today and it went well. And I learned a few new words-words that won't find their way to the girls vocab tests ;)
