Why am I here?

I originally started this blog as a memorial page to those officers fallen, posting only when a death had occurred. As I started I realized that it should be something more than a painful reminder of what had occurred. There are challenges that I find myself facing as the girlfriend of an officer. On a daily basis I find myself facing emotions I've never had to deal with previously since his "office" and clientele aren't in the safest areas of the city. But I know he is a good officer and a good man, capable of taking care of himself and others. He has good skills that will keep him alive.

So this blog, while showing those who are gone, is a place of respect, a place of honor and memory, that of laughter and fear to reality. I hope this blog will be able to live up to all of that.

Happy New Years!

Happy New Years everyone! Sam and I tried our best to stay up for the big event but around 10:30 we couldn't make it any longer. We had our early New Year's kiss and zonked out. Yesterday, according to Sam, was our "last night of debauchery" (when it comes to diet and lifestyle). It's true though, we both need to get back in shape, he just finished cutting out the seams to one of his uniform shirts because its too tight with him and his vest.
Weight loss seems to be one of the big resolutions out there this year. On my MSN homepage was an article on 13 Ways to Keep Off Pesky Pounds for Good. I'm looking forward to slimming back down hopefully to my 125 or somewhere around there but also to shape up my arms and tummy at the same time.
