About the Guest
Renee Anderson was raised on a farm in Missouri and moved to Los Angeles in 1994. She worked in the newspaper industry, but now owns her own business and works as a virtual assistant in the business administration and marketing sectors. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, her dry cleaners arranged a “blind date” with her future husband, “Officer Jake.” She and Jake were married in 1996. Officer Jake has been a Los Angeles Police Officer for over 19 years.
According to Renee Anderson, after five years of marriage she found “there was not much out there for the law enforcement wife.” She realized there were only a handful of books, websites and social groups. While she was thinking about writing a book, a friend introduced her to blogging. After a little more than three years of blogging three times a week, she had a tremendous amount of content, as well as an impressive following. Renee Anderson’s blog led to the book – Police Wife: My Life Married to the Badge.

A fast update of a bit of everything.
1. I have started getting my mail on an every other day biases! My moms is sooo proud of me! I started because I was waiting for checks to come in for the kids and various First Communion presents from all the family and "pagany" friends that sent to them. Now I am waiting on my checks to come in. So now that I have gotten in the habit we can start actually "writting". Craftywench dear, I need you to email us full addy and your mini me's name and your name again. DeLaney said she won't promise any decent letters (they just got done with proper letter writing at school so she is burnt out) but she will write!
2. I was very upset with my TKD Academy instructor Monday and ran into Aj's wife yesterday and told her why. It looks like my cousin's wife has been talking and the owner/instructor is beleiving every word she has to say about me. Which is funny as hell cause the stuck up bitch doesn't KNOW me, doesn't talk to me outside of saying hi, and thinks I am "white trash" cause I don't dress in brand name clothes. Carrie is upset over this cause she had to deal with my cousin's wife talking shit about her last year. AJ is going to talk to me Friday cause he is worried that after we get our black belt at the end of this year beginning of next year instead of stickign around that we will leave the Academy. AJ knows that I don't put up with this type of shit but I am also not going to play highschool bull shit games, I'll call the instructor and cousin's wife out and be dayumed any family fall out.
3. After 7 years (i though it was 5 until my moms counted back) I actually took myself to my hair stylist and got my hair colored. The kdis and I got our hair cut Wensday or Thrusday last week and I splurged on hair color yesterday. I think I look kick ass hot with my new do. The bottom half of my hair is a purply reddish brown and the upper layers are reddish brown. So when I put my sides up you can see the purple and when I actually blow dry curl my bangs you can see it also! My hair stylist instead of charging me for my length which at the moment is short and thickness of my hair (usually takes a lot of dye for my hair even when short) she charged me just for shortness for two different dyes even though the bottom dye she used a full bottle of it she said! I was very happy over not paying close to 100 for my dye like normal! It was closer to 50!
4. I don't know if I told you all about the plan I had in plotting progress but I started it. At the end of May when my kdis get out of school, instead of taking them on their first camping trip, they will be staying with Pappo and Mammo (Unless daddy is home those two days) while Mommy is bettering herself. I registered for 1 of 6 classes to start my certificate/licensing process to become a Certified and eventually Licensed Drug/Alchohal (sp? can't ever spell that word) Counselor! The total amoutn of classes is $1300.00 but you only pay for the class your taking. And if the class that is scheduled doesn't fit in your schedule you just wait for the next one to be listed, it doesn't hurt you! It is through the Lincoln Medical Center and a program called TAP out of Lincoln. The series of classes are held every 6 months. Sometimes on the Western/Central parts of the state and the other times on the Eastern/Central part of the state. Right now they are in the Western/Central parts of the state but I am going down to a weekend class in Lincoln the day my kdis get out of school for the first class. I have NOT told Randy yet, because Randy told NOW would come up with a way to sabatoge my plans and he wouldn't even realize it. Once it comes closer I will inform him and he will get over it. My parents and my sister (and one friend) are stepping to the plate to help with the kids especially when it comes to the week long classes coming up. After I do the classes I have to intern at 1 of 4 places near me or try to get on at the IHS out paitent clinic. Once I get that over with I can get licensed and work anyplace in NE as a counselor. I am going to hold out for the IHS Drug/Booze Dependency Unit to be up and operational to get on with the Tribe/Gov't. They are in the process of building it now right next to the new IHS hospital my moms works at!
5. My garden is tilled and my onions planted. I have to find my other seed to get the other cold weather seeds in, my herb garden needs one more tillign and then I can plant that, and Coltin's room is about done with the fixing of cracks so I can paint!
6. Randy has been an ass lately so when he is home this week we will hash that out.
Over all life has been good. I even wrote gwydionjim a letter while he is at boot camp. He might even get another one here when I mail out the last of the kids' thank you cards for all their First Communion Presents! Yes I make my kids do snail mail thank yous!
Can changes in life circumstances, such as being employed, living with a wife or girlfriend, or modifying alcohol or drug use, alter the crime patterns of convicted adult male felons? This question was the focus of a study conducted for the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), which sought to understand the relationship between adult patterns of criminal behavior and relatively short- term changes in work, family, and other social situations.
It is widely believed that criminal behavior is the result of a basic propensity that is established early on and persists throughout life, and that changing life circumstances in adulthood are unlikely to alter this criminal propensity. Others have theorized that short-term factors such as getting fired from a job, quarreling with a wife or girlfriend, or abusing alcohol or drugs may be important catalysts in adult patterns of criminal behavior. The researchers conducted indepth interviews with convicted felons and analyzed month-to-month changes in offending and life circumstances to understand change in adult criminal behavior. The results strongly demonstrate that social events during adulthood are related to crime.
