sir, I need you to remove your shoes
It’s finally happened! Many of our friends and family know that Ryan has been involved in a LOOOONG application process with the U.S. Secret Service. Well, we finally got “the Call” that Ryan has been accepted!!! Wahoo!!!!!!!! He will leave for training the end of January, and our family will be relocating to Denver in August. We are excited and nervous and relieved and grateful, and so many other things. Of course, this means huge changes for our family–some that are only beginning to be apparent. But we are confident that this is a good direction for our family, and we feel blessed that we can have this opportunity!
CONGRATULATIONS RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s amazing how tough I feel knowing that Ryan will be carrying a gun!!! Haha, J/K! That’s amazing. Congratulations!!!!!! We wish you the very best!!! Good luck in training.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes!!!

After all those tests and interviews, now you can finally spend a little time on the important things… Like buying your new secret service sunglasses;)
