Had an AWESOME visit with Emily over the weekend! We had a lot of time to sit and talk with each other, and had some yummy food too (take out chinese! chilis! lunch at noshville! pancakes at pancake pantry)!! The name of this post refers to our trip to Big Bang, a dueling piano bar in Nashville. It was HILARIOUS when they sang Fuck Her Gently by The D, but subsituted hibernate in place of fuck because they weren't supposed to say fuck while singing, I guess. The pictures are from our night at Big Bang.
You will also likely notice that I've grown my beard back. Yes folks, I'm allowed to keep facial hair with the exception of three classes. So, that makes me quite happy, as you might imagine. (It also makes Emmy quite happy, since I looked like a baby-faced weirdo without my beard.)Anyway, it was such a fun weekend, but it was over waaay too soon. I was back in Kentucky before I could even blink. I miss my Emmy terribly and I can't wait until I get to see her again. The good news is that I have, in fact, found something to occupy my time when I'm not at work. Training with Crescent Springs Fire has been going really well. So well, in fact, that the Chief and some of the officers invited me to hang out at the firehouse and help out during all the bad weather this week. I had a blast, even though I don't think I was a whole lot of help. I was glad to be there and do what I could with the limited training I have so far. 2-minute drills at Fire Academy are SERIOUSLY hard work, but I think I'm getting it.
I know it makes Emmy (and my mom) nervous that I'm training to be a firefighter, but my training will help me be safe, and help keep others safe. And I'm not gonna go charging into burning buildings like a crazypants, I'm going to make sure I am safe and situation-aware at all times, because I gotta look out for numero uno so that I can be around for my baby for a long, long time!
That's about all I got... sorry for the rambling post, but it's been a while since I updated and I had lots of cool stuff to talk about. K bye!
