Congrats to LCDR Hubby

I'm a little late on posting this update, but congratulations to the tallest man of the house for his recent promotion to Lieutenant Commander! The boys and I were able to head to base a couple weeks ago to watch Erik pin on his new "O4" rank in the ready room at the squadron. We then accompanied him to a nearby brick oven pizza place - the finest our money could buy. Congratulations, babe! 

This promotion also happens to fall at the tail end of his current squadron tour. Up next: a month of leave to do some woodworking and R&R before he ends off to some various Navy schools and then comes back here to officially start his new department head tour with VAQ-134, where he will help transition the last Navy Prowler squadron to the new, updated Growler aircraft. It works out well, in terms of no deployments in the next year or two. Yippy skippy!

Looking sharp!

The boys in a ready room is always a little stressful for me as they jump around all the seats and immediately hone in on breakable stuff, but we are all smiles in general with promise of pizza.

It was good. Real good.

Anders bucks the pizza trend and goes for a hearty spaghetti and meat-a-ball plate.
