The life of an almost police wife.

Last night was typical, my baby dog, Chloe, and I snuggled up in bed and said our prayers for "dad" or as I call him, Kasey. Prayers that God watch over him and if needed give him the strength to deal with the tough situations that police officers often face. 

Sometime during the early morning I was awoken by sirens and before falling asleep again I wondered if just maybe that was him. I still haven't had the opportunity to ask if if was, but for the sake of a great story I'm going to still assume it was ;). I woke up alone in the morning- which was totally against the norm because he is usually off at 6:00am. I use the word "usually" loosely, because as any police wife knows, there is never a true set schedule. However, I kept telling myself, "he'll be home soon, don't worry". Did I really do that though? Not at all. The more I thought about it the more I worried. 7:00am came and passed and before I knew it, it was 9:00am. Where in the world could he be?? 

Do you ever wonder why we, as women, let ourselves adventure into the world of worry as much as we do? He has been late coming home several times. I know this lifestyle! However, I still had that weird imagination that wandered to a scene where the chief is at my door telling me something has happened. I don't understand why I do this, but I know I am not alone. 

Turns out I should have just trusted in my initial thoughts and in God- duh right? He just had a late call that progressed to more and more and before he knew it he had been on shift an extra six hours. 

As a Christian and a fellow (almost) LEOW I want to share my thoughts and feelings openly about my adventures as a police wife in hopes that my stories and thoughts will cause a laugh, a sigh, or even a "heck yes, I'm not alone!"
