Fire Academy Graduation.

We celebrated Jonathan's Graduation from his 16 week Fire Academy for his new job with Alameda County last week. The academy has been a huge undertaking for our family, and we are so happy to have it be over!! He is no longer a recruit & is now an official firefighter for the department. Hooray! This job is such a blessing for our family & we are so incredibly grateful. Jonathan will now be able to do what he loves full time & he will be able to be home a lot more (which I am SO excited about). The graduation day was fabulous & we loved having Jonathan's parents here to celebrate with us! Here are some photos of the day...
