On June 21st, John was promoted to sergeant!
We are so proud of him and the hard work he put in to achieve this goal!
He was sworn in at a ceremony with 2 other sergeants, 2 lieutenants, and 2 commanders.

New sergeant's badge...
The kids kept saying, "Congratulations, SARG!"
About 40 of his co-workers, close friends, and family joined us that evening to celebrate John and his accomplishments! The Irelands were generous enough to open their home and let us use their beautiful backyard for the party. And since we only heard about the promotion 2 weeks before, I had a week to plan. Thank goodness for helpful friends and family! It turned out to be a great night!
Thank you, Aaron & Sarah, for being such great friends!!
Sharon got 2 yummy cakes from Costco...there is definitely a benefit to planning a police-themed party with the 4th of July approaching. ;)
John thanked everyone for their support and encouragement...
Then the guys from his bike team presented him with a farewell gift...
A beer mug with a list of "inside jokes"/John-isms...
This is definitely a bittersweet move as he's worked with such a great group of guys for the last few years.
