Dustin's Promotion Ceremony

So the day has finally come when Dustin was promoted to NCO!! It was a long time coming and ask anyone he was more than deserving!! We are so excited and grateful for this new journey!! And even more grateful for the leaders who have helped shape him into the amazing SGT he is now!!! Here are a few albeit blurry (cheap camera temp) pictures from the ceremony.

A tour of my house!

So this has taken forever for me to do as I tend to really clean one room at a time but by the time I get the rest of the house done, the room I started in needs cleaned again!! This is very normal I am sure.

But I have been wanting to take you on a tour of on post housing in Germany. We were lucky with out timing. We only qualified for a 2 bedroom house when we arrived 36 weeks pregnant. But do to the lack of availability, and frankly the fact I refused to have my child while still living in a hotel they reluctantly gave us a 3 bedroom!!

I have only one complaint about the house and that is the size of the kitchen but I am not sure a women will ever fully be happy with that part of the house seeing as that is OUR room lol!!

My kitchen nothing special and has limited counter space

Dining room, this room is weird shaped but We have managed to fill it decently

My living room Planning on getting a grey rug hopefully soon to add to this!!

Entry way!!

Extra room, this room has no real purpose at this time, however the couch does pull out to a bed so if we have guests :D

Guest Room Bathroom and me tehe

Laundry in the hallway!! Kind of annoying but its alright!

Our main bathroom!! This is the biggest bathroom I have ever had <3 br="" it="">

Hallway!!

Kyra's room, this one is my favorite!!

Dustin and I's room!!

Graduation Day!

  Waking up at 4 am is not something I will ever enjoy! But we definitely were up and dressed up, and out the door by 5 yesterday and glad we were. Although it said it was only going to be a 3.5 hour drive it took us 5 hours to get there and we arrived just in time to watch most of the ceremony.

  Here are a few pictures from the Ceremony:

Dustin was the Guidon Barer which made him easy to find!!

      After sitting through the ceremony we tried to wear out Kyra so her ride home would go more smoothly and it was nice to spend a little time with her daddy!! And it certainly didn't workout.

      Since Grafenwoher is really close to the Czech Republic we wanted to go to the border and just walk across to say we made it to another country, and than turn around and head home. But when we got to the border there was no where to turn around on the divided highway and we ended up going about 10 miles into the country to turn around, but it was still a quick trip. And now we can say we have been there. Although I would have to say that at least in the area we were it was a very dirty place, with trash all over the side of the road.
