Kudos to the hubby who this past Thursday was promoted to 1LT!! I am so proud of him!! He works so hard and even though its somewhat of an automatic promotion, he still very much deserves it!! It was a bitter sweet time for our family.. we wish we could have all been together at his promotion ceremony especially since I missed his OCS graduation and would have loved to been able to "pin" his new rank on him :( But there is always next time and it will be big one (CPT)!! I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband who strives and excels in all that he does.. and the kids have a wonderful dad to be proud of!! That day General Petraeus and Katie Couric (CBS evening news) just happened to be there .. the General was visiting Salerno and Couric was following him for an interview for CBS's special on the War in Afghanistan. So it made his day even better by getting to meet and talk with both of them. So not only is he now a 1LT, he also met a few celebrities... so Brandon is officially a bonafide superstar, ha! And as for the deployment, we crossed off another month in this tour... we are certainly on the downhill but still too far from the finish line. I will start the real countdown and get more excited and less frazzled when the weeks left hit the single digits.. then I think I will finally feel like the finish line is just around the corner... Until then I keep trudging along.. all the while missing him and looking forward to the sweet day of homecoming!!
