What a week!!

This past Sunday I finished my last class required for my Master's degree in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma. I take my final exam in October and if all goes well (fingers crossed) I'll be getting a new diploma to hang on the wall =)




Yesterday, the promotion list was released from the test that Allan took back in March and we found out that he did make the list! We are so very, very proud of him!! It is a remarkable accomplishment as it usually takes about 16 years in the service to make it to where he is now and he did it in less than 10! Since he is one of the youngest he won't actually sew on Master Sergeant until next July. He re-enlisted yesterday as well. It tacked on another 5 years of service for us. I can't believe that he is almost half way there! Only 10 more years until retirement! Yipee!


This was taken right after he saw his name on the list of promotees.

Here are some photos of Allan re-enlisting with his Captain.








Allan and his new "stripes!"


So, as you can see we have had a very eventful week with many blessings! What a great couple of days =)
