Nov 15th marked 4 years since Ben was sworn in as an Ensign in the Navy. Due to everything going on with his family, we had to find a different time to do his "pinning on". This is where you change the medals that he wears on his uniform. We were going to try for next week sometime but then Ben called me on Friday around lunch time to see if the kids and I could be at his office at 4. Uhm yeah...sure...no problem. We did make it and the kids were well not the best behaved they have ever been but certainly not the worse! I got to pin on his medal and as you can imagine it is not an easy reach. So he always has to bend a little! The best thing about making Lt? That would be the pay raise. About $800 more a month! Sweet! However, since it doesn't kick in until next pay period, we decided to have a celebratory dinner at...Burger King. Ok, ok we did have the kids with us. They were pretty happy with that. It was so nice to be able to go and support Ben. He is such a hard worker and I am just so proud of him. :)
