Today Babe got to have his pinning on of his oak leaves since he made Lieutenant Commander. The kids were excited to go over to Daddy's school and be a part of the ceremony. We are excited for the pay raise. :-) Just kidding, we were really happy of his promotion and especially that we got to all be there as a family to support Daddy. The kids knew Daddy picked them to pin on his new rank and knew that was very special, Mommy pinned on Daddy's last rank.
After the ceremony and standing around chit chatting we went for an outdoor lunch on Naval Postgraduate School grounds. They have a really good place to eat and it is a treat when one it is nice enough to sit outside and enjoy eating and 2 we get to eat with Daddy at his school!
Some people really micro-manage their careers in the military. I really like Babe's attitude . . . he does his best and prays and leaves it to the Lord. His boss on the ship got frustrated with him for not "controling" his career more and I mean freekishly controling. Babe's view is this . . .
Psalm 75:5-7
6For promotion cometh neither from the east,
nor from the west, nor from the south.
7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
We're thankful today for Babe's promotion and celebration with family!
