I think it's taken me a while to post about Becky's swearing in to the Rockford Fire Department because I took SO MANY PICTURES. So, get ready for collage mania (as if this blog wasn't collage mania already!). Here is a pic of the "class" of 10 that was sworn in:



And here's Beck getting interviewed on the news. I posted the link to the interview a few posts back if you missed it.



There were lots of kind words by lots of important people:



And then the actual swearing in. Family was invited to stand up on stage as well (Caleb kept saying "Mammow!" until she finally held him :-)):





The rest of her class:



And there was punch and cookies afterwards:



Proud Mother (note, the bottom right is the commissioner who thought I was Becky's MOTHER when I was taking pictures before the ceremony - I seriously need a makeover!!):



Friend and fellow firefighter, Gerry Gurney:



And more pictures outside of Memorial Hall:



The Fam (minus Dan, taking the pic):



Proud Dad:



Looking cool in blue:



Time to celebrate, with "steak a la Bob" and a gift:



And an appropriately (and coincidentally) themed new (old) toy:



I've said it a hundred times, but we are so proud of you, Beck. Please pray for her as she goes through her 12-week training.

OK, that might be officially the most pics I've ever posted in one post! Hope you enjoyed them. :-)
