1st shift

Mike's first shift was last night and I was nervous and excited for him all at once. I was going to try to stay up all night (11pm-7 am), but I only made it to 3:30. Mike called on his way home and said it was a great night. He was nervous up until he had to talk to someone, but after that he was fine. J.P and Mike also had 1 DWI last night, and as Mike said, was a wanna-be lawyer. He said that took forever because the guy kept trying to use big words to act like he wasn't drunk and wanted to read everything....He was arrested. :) Around 4 am that had lunch and he said from then on, up until their shift was over, there wasn't anything going on, so they drove around. He found out that one of his students that he had in the GED program was arrested for DUI and possession of marijuana. Once the student saw that it was Mike, he face lit up and he was excited to see his old teacher, but Mike didn't really know what to say to him. I mean...what do you say to an old student who was arrested? Mike called on his way home, around 7:15 am, and as soon as he got home, no more than 5 minutes later, he was out. He was so tired. Since daylight savings time was yesterday, they have to go in an hour earlier tonight. So tonight, he will be on from 10 am-7 am. He is sleeping in the basement now since it is so dark down there. I'll post more info. when he wakes up! Have a great Sunday!

it sounds like officer LD had a good first night on his new beat, making the streets of columbia safe for all of us.
we are definately proud of him and will pray for his safety.
we should also pray for the perps in columbia now that officer LD has been unleashed!
