Hey guys...
I shared this over at BP.net, but wanted to share it here, too. I know I'm kind of quiet over here (especially compared to over there
) but I still consider Fauna as part of my Internet Home and you guys part of my strange, ethereal family.
First off...I want to boast a bit about my husband. He is currently attending Air War College here in Alabama. While here, he was hoping to find out if he would be picked up to be a Group Commander for his next assignment.
Turns out, he was not picked up for Group. Instead...they skipped him right over Group and told him he will be the Vice Wing Commander for the 688th Information Operations Wing out of Lackland AFB. It was quite a surprise, and a giant step forward for his career.
He also pins on his full Colonel's rank on Feb 1st.
Sometimes I whine about all the moving we have to do. Sometimes I get really frustrated at the limitations I must have on my own dreams and future aspirations because of his career. But seriously, all that pales in comparison to how proud I am of him. Military life IS hard...but it's also exciting and rewarding. And being happily married to a man who is so damned good at it is exhilarating. There are times that I seriously think I'm ready for him to retire...but mostly I really don't want this ride to end anytime soon!
On a different subject...we will be leaving town in a couple of days to drive to Texas to spend Christmas with family. I may pop in for a few minutes at a time with my phone or laptop, but I won't be spending much time online, I'm sure.
If I don't get to say so later....I do wish for everyone here to have a brilliant and joyful Christmas and Holiday Season!!!
