A New Beginning!

This morning I woke, to hear the noises of a resting husband! Only then did I realize he didn't need to get up and be at work by 5:00am! So in celebration of the 22 years Rob served on the Phoenix Police Department - I am posting 22 random things about him - you just might not know.
1} Rob is a keeper! We woman call them hoarders! His father would be very proud, as he too could not part with anything. A good example, Rob still has his fraternity and police academy t-shirts.

2} He is truly a gamer! When we first met, his normal evening consisted of staying up until 3:00am playing games with Brad, Adam or Randy!
3} He hates (repeat louder HATES) yard work. I think this stems from him having such a big yard a child.

4} Addicted to Diet Coke. He gets up in the morning - brushes his teeth - and heads straight for the fridge for a drink.

5} Thinks Die Hard and the Matrix are the best movies around!

6} Rob could sit and watch the History channel 24/7. He even has Sean hooked too.

7} Loves to watch cartoons! Yes, any old school or new stuff.

8} Rob hates crowds.

9} He is a home-body! He hates to go anywhere!! This is from sitting in a police car and being everywhere all the time.

10} He misses his sister Peggy - greatly. He will make a reference to her everyday, but has a hard time reaching out and telling her this.

11} Loves soduko puzzles! So does Peggy :)
12} Would give absolutley anything to his friends! His friends do not know how lucky they are to have someone like this.

13} He thinks Whataburger is the best fast food place ever.

14} On the police department served as a patrol officer, training officer, community resource officer, and a school resource officer. He says he never wanted to leave the community because he wanted to serve them.
15} Is certified to teach High School Social Studies and be a school administrator or principal. He has a bachelor's and a master's degree!

16} Went to the University of Arizona for 3 years, but graduated from Arizona State University. He claims the U of A and hates ASU. What the heck? His children love the Sun Devils!
17} Looks just like his dad!!

18} An avid reader - his favorite book "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling!

19} His favorite TV show is "Cash Cab". So much our children walk around yelling "Red light Challanggggggeeee"!
20} When Sean was born - it was three weeks before I had to change a diaper!!

21} Obsessed with brushing his teeth - he should be as his dad and grandfather were both dentists.

22} Is the most excited man in the world to be able to stay home with his daughter the next year and a half. They are even calling it home school! He has her convinced that she will have homework everyday.I love you Rob!! Congratulations and thank you for making your family proud!!

Wow, Jackie,
Congrads to your Hubby! He look ever so familiar. I went to Lowell Elementary, mesa Jr and Mesa High, graduated in 1982. Your hubby looks like I met him somewhere before. Wouldn't that be a small world. Now I look completely different from High school as ever photos of mine looks different.

I was going to be a cop also but, never did.I wanted to be a undercover or a detective.

I know he worked with this girl I graduated with Barbara Alexander. but, that is now her last name now. She was a cheerleader and then became a Phx. PD> And what about Bill Clinton, I know he knows him as my son was in Arizona swing kids with him also.
I worked with his wife joyce at Lucky's/ABCO foods.
Take care and get some rest!
