Day 5 of Plastic in Hand...gotta tell you guys, it's nice to finally have it. Hang in there if you're waiting. When you finally get that card in the mail, you seem to forget about the 100+ day wait.

Haven't done the "Wally Walk", but wanted to see if I could get a vote if this qualifies:
Friday - went fishing with some friends, first time out carrying, they had no idea and didn't suspect
Saturday - Bass Pro Shops, AT&T store and general errands
Sunday - Church (which was tough, we're a hugging group), trip to the range to shake off a little rust.
Monday - VBS at church, officially on the "security team" - sad world where we have to have a security team, but glad we watch out for the kids and each other so well.

Hoping this qualifies even though it's not an official "wally walk".

Have a great week guys!
