Life of a cop's wife!

Image
      Caleb my husband has been an LEO which is Law Enforcement Officer since 2021 when he graduated. I was raised by an LEO my dad since he graduated school when I was 3 so I knew the understanding of it when he graduated. My mom mentioned to me that when he graduated my life would never be the same and she was 100% correct. He has been working at Davie County Sheriff's Office since then and my world has forever changed. They have rotating shifts which means one month he is daytime 7AM-7PM and the next month he is 7PM-7AM. Right now, he is on the night shift, and it is such an adjustment especially since I am in school. He sleeps a long time on the first day he is off, and my daughter and I patiently wait on him to wake up so we can see him. During his nighttime rotation, we spend a lot of time on facetime so my daughter can sleep.      I know if he could have permeant shifts, he would but that is not something that the agency is offering at this time. It is hard sleeping while he

First week of college is done!

           I was honestly so impressed with myself that I have completed all of the requirements for the introduction assignments and now I can dive deep into my major. All of my classes seem super fun and seem like I can get these classes over and do great. It was honestly so easy to get those done with my support system. I have stinky pads all over my house with quotes and inspirations to keep me going. Most of the notes include my daughter and it keeps me going. When my husband I got married it was in 2020 during covid and I was a full-time nanny, and he was working for Asplundh tree company. We knew that is not what we wanted to do with our lives, but we could not wait to get married. I told him to go for any career he wanted to go into, I did not know that law enforcement was his dream. I grew up with a father who was a law enforcement officer, and I knew the dangers of that job. In January of 2021 he started BLET which is Basic Law Enforcement Training. He graduated with that deg

Typical Saturday Morning!

      Before I started college my typical Saturday morning included my daughter waking up and letting me know she is awake. We both get up I change her diaper and we head to the kitchen for my fruit loop cereal and some strawberries. I am not a big breakfast person, so I sit and drank my coffee while she eats. When she gets done, we go into the living room for her to watch some Ms. Rachel. I know a lot of mothers are not for screen time and I understand that. Sophia my daughter does not watch TV all day. She watches it maybe for a total of 2 hours a day. Ms. Rachel has taught my daughter many things, she is an early childhood educator on YouTube. She has taught Sophia baby sign language, her ABC'S, different songs, how to say words, and so many other things. If my husband at work which is every other weekend, we go to my parents so she can see her grandparents and her aunts and uncles. We go other there and if I need to run errands, including the grocery store my parents will watch

College student but first Mother!

    I am currently a mother to an almost 15-month-old little girl named, Sophia! When I first decided that I wanted to go back to school and get a degree the whole reason I wanted to was for her. I want her to have a wonderful life and know that she can do anything she sets her mind to. So far this week I have been able to stay up late or get up early to work on assignments. I have a wonderful support system, my family. My husband is a deputy for Davie County Sheriff's office and so his schedule is different than most. When he is off, he has been handling her so I can do schoolwork. When he is working, I am here with her, and I have been very blessed because if she is fed and has a clean diaper all she needs is toys and she is perfectly okay. She does though from time to time want attention, so I have to put schoolwork away for a little bit until she is calmed down.      All my classes are pretty straightforward, and I am enjoying them very much! I am hoping once I graduate from DD
