HE DID IT!!!

    After 5 weeks in the heat of Montgomery, AL my sweetie finally realized his dream and graduated as an officer in the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE!! He looked so handsome in his uniform. The celebration took place over two days. The first was the awards ceremony where his squadron won Honor Squadron. 

   Mike's mom Susie (AKA Gigi) flew in to Indy to drive down with the kids and me and I am forever grateful for all her help!! Not only did she do all the driving the entire way there but also cleaned the whole house before we left. I have the best mother in law EVER!! Mike's sisters Christy (AKA KAKA) and Kimberly (AKA BOBO) drove in from Texas. Love you guys and so glad you could all be there!! 

    The second day was an awesome "parade" where each group marched past the distinguished guests, commander and other higher ranking folks. Again he looked so cute! If you look close you can see him. He was second row back second from the right side. It was hotter than heck and they had practiced this event several times a day for several days. We were all sweaty and hot at the end (kids miserable the entire time) but so happy to see Daddy say his oath and be sworn in to active duty.

    Although I have posted some of these on FB I know some of you may not have seen them yet. Since we are still not in our new home, and this is my first day with internet in a week, I apologize for not having uploaded sooner. By far though my favorite picture has been the one of Katherine greeting Daddy after his graduation. They looked so precious and you can see how excited she is about seeing her Daddy again!! We are so excited about this new phase in our lives!!! Thanks to all of your for your support and prayers!!
