FINALLY!!!!
So cute in his turn-outs 
I ♥ MY FIREMAN
I'm not sure what Deke's doing here but I'm going to pretend he's serenading me. Awww how romantical ;) 
Getting his sweet badge
He's so much taller than everyone else, I love it.
They did several demonstrations after the ceremony, it was pretty cool.
Congratulations, Deke! I have a good friend who has been through two firefighter academies and is now on with the EDH fire dept., so I know how rigorous the training can be. Way to go.
ReplyDeleteKim, love the changes to your blog, by the way!
Congrats to Deke! But, finally? How long is fire academy, really? You haven't even known Deke long enough to have any complaints about how long he's been in fire academy.
ReplyDeleteI mean...try enduring a husband in grad school for 5 years! ;-)
ReplyDeletehaha ok Amy, you got me there. It really wasn't that long but the time spent in the academy was rigorous. The only time I really saw him he was passed out on the floor :( but those days are over, yay!
ReplyDeleteLisa, who's your friend? I wonder if Deke knows him?
Him? Actually, it's a her (he he.) Her name is Lisa Perillo. I think she was one of the two women who graduated the academy about 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your comment about Deke being passed out on the floor. My friend Lisa was there!
