MADD

On Saturday, Jacob and I left Jaron and Jenna with my parents and we went to Sacramento. Jacob was invited to attend the MADD Ca. Law Enforcement and Community Recognition Dinner. He was invited because he arrested 109 DUI's last year. The most in his department! We really enjoyed the dinner. They had many speakers talk about their experiences and how their lives have been affected by people driving under the influence. Some of the stories were very sad. There was a 10 year old boy who told how his uncle was killed by a drunk driver. I had to try really hard to hold back the tears. Jacob was given a really nice plaque and they took and professional picture of us. When it was over, around 10pm, we decided to walk around downtown a bit. We were a bit hungry, but didn't find anything open except for bars. So, we went back to our room and ordered room service. It was delicious. On Sunday, we went shopping. I got the kids some cute summer clothes from Children's Place. That is probably my favorite store for the kids right now. Here are some pictures that we took at the MADD dinner.

This is what was written about Jacob in the program.

Officer Provencio is assigned to the Traffic Unit and used a very pro-active and aggressive approach to pursue those driving under the influence, whether alcohol or drug use. Officer Provencio led the department with 109 DUI arrests in 2008.

I am so proud of him!
