Shawn went to go take his placement test yesterday afternoon. He did really well on it for the most part. He found out that he can go straight in to the police academy if he can score a point higher than what he did score on the writting part of the test. He will be retaking it tomorrow. So keep him in your prayers please. :) We also found out that he can be done and out of the police academy 36 weeks or somewhere close to. If you ask me retaking one test is a lot better than a year and 1/2 of basics and then the police academy. Saves us time and money. I think after he passes, he is suppose to have an interview with the criminal justice department. The lady on the phone yesterday told him that would not be a problem. They just go over your past history and ask the usual questions or at least that is pretty much what she told him. And if everything goes well with that, he will be starting in October. Pretty AWESOME if you ask me!! However, I do know that the next 6 or more months will also be a trying time. Shawn will be going to school 8-5 and working an evening job. So that doesn't leave much time for us, but I know with God's help we can get through all of it, but as for now I am just happy that it is shorter than we thought! WOOHOO! Well I need to go get ready, so I can go get my books for school.

WooHoo - I know he can do the test. But am I confused or does he still have to live in Texas for so long before he qualifies for the Police Academy? I'm so out of the loop.
Love you guys - we need to make some plans for September.
No he does not have to live in Texas for so long, since he is going through the academy at AC. If he was going to APD's academy we would be stuck waiting 4 more years.
Keep us posted... It is manageable. I went through Jim at archirecture school where he was gone from 7 in the morning until 2 a.m. for weeks on end before big projects.... :)
