Brian On The Front Page Of Their News Paper

Thanks to everyone for your Birthday and anniversary wishes on your blogs. I have been really busy Holiday shopping, decorating, cleaning, getting my car fixed, and everything else I don't have time to do when I'm working. I'm on vacation this week. We had a great day celebrating birthday and anniversary. We went to the Christmas show in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry, the Rocketts. Very nice show, as usual. We walked the Opry Mills mall all day before the show. It took about 4 hours to walk the whole thing. And we didn't even get to go in all the stores. The place is huge. I will post pictures of my holiday decorating soon. We are having company for dinner tomorrow night so haven't had time to take the pictures. We are having two couples for dinner that Frank golfs with their husbands. Will write about it after tomorrow. Love You All. By the way Joan, where did you get that goofy picture of me? Just think, next year at this time you can be my age!!! And Norine, I'm catching up with you all too fast!! I have to move out of the slot to make room for the rest of our brother and sisters!! Check out the link I posted of Brian on the front page of their daily news!

Brian's Promotion

I received the following e-mail from Kim today!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we found out this morning that Brian made the promotion list! He will now be promoted to Master Sergeant (E8)! This is a big promotion for him. It comes from Washinton DC and not all enlisted soldiers even make this rank so we are both very excited. Hope you are all doing well.

Kim

I am so happy for Brian, Kim and the kids. This is a great accomplishment and honor. This truely makes me such a proud mother!!

JUSTIN'S 3rd BIRTHDAY

A couple of new pictures of Justin's 3rd Birthday!!!

To my last born grandson!! I hope you have a great 3rd birthday. Hope you have fun at your party today. I will be thinking of you, my bashful little wrestler!! Justin loves wrestling. He puts all these little moves on his Brother, Mom and Dad...and whomever else will play the game. That's after he gets to know you for awhile. It took a few days to get him to finally warm up to me when I was home in April. We love you Justin!!
