Back to the original plan...maybe?

Sam is hard at work! He only has one day off this week, which is good for his bank account but bad for me. I'll only get to see him on Friday, that makes me both a sad and happy panda.

There is only 2 weeks to go until our 1 year anniversary!! I'm so very excited *smiles* and I've been looking around for gift ideas and he was throwing out some hints. Not necessarily for anniversary but maybe he'll get lucky. I was flipping through his ThinkGeek magazine, he was telling me he wants Tactical Bacon (must be a man thing) and some ice cube molds that make shot glasses from ice. I was excited by the shot glass ice molds, but unfortunately they're out of stock when I checked online last night. Major bummer, but back to what I was getting at. I was flipping through the catalog when I saw this R/C Forklift for his desk (pictured below)
Isn't cute? He's been wanting a toy for his patrol car since last year...and not just any toy but "the" toy. We went to ToysRUs, Walmart, Target, etc on a hunt for the perfect toy and came up empty handed. So when I mentioned this desk toy, he flatly told me no. He doesn't want a desk toy until he makes detective. This of course was news to me since the last time we talked he was thinking about switching to corrections.


So it looks like he's thrown corrections out the window and back on track with his original plan when first started dating a year ago. He's thinking of trying for detective in another year and ultimately becoming a traffic homicide investigator. He seems very excited about that...well as excited as one can be about traffic homicide. I guess I'll have to buy it eventually so that when he makes detective I'll give it to him. But that's what his plan looks like as of right now.

Fingers crossed people!!

The New Year

is looking extremely promising! Sam was discharged from physical therapy early, only seven sessions. And after an agonizing two-something hour wait at the doctors office he was cleared for full duty. Starting Sunday, he goes back to serving up "justice with a side order of spaghetti." I'm so glad he can go to work and not sit around twiddling his thumbs. He'll be back to training for SWAT in no time at all. To think it was only another month ago the other doctor was talking about possible surgery!

I have to admit (as I have to him) that I'm not too fond of him switching over to midnights. Firstly, I will not have him to cuddle with in the night because well, he'll be working. The night shift as he has told me is a little more on the dangerous side. But that's what he loves and I can't exactly stop him. He knows how I feel about it and he has assured me that everything will be fine, which I know is true. At least I know his mom is in the same boat as I am.

Now all we need to do is get him a toy for his patrol vehicle. Speaking of toys, I found a great find for him at Staples the other day. I originally saw them during Black Friday and thought about getting him one but hesitated then. I happened to see them on clearance and decided to grab two as gift ideas. I'm going to be in a bit of a gift crunch with Valentine's, his birthday and our first year anniversary; birthday and anniversary just so happen to be in the same month. Well I have a big gift for his birthday already but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for other ideas for anything else I can think of.

Well time for bed...maybe something will come to me in my dreams :)
