Our Navy Life in Bella Napoli!: Promotion to Lieutenant!

March 1st, I was able to join David for his promotion ceremony - that's two for two (was able to attend his promotion to LTJG as well...newly pregnant :0). Anyhow, the ceremony was brief but very nice and you could feel the support for David from his fellow colleagues. It started with David's CO saying a few nice words about what the bars for each rank stand for then they moved forward to the oath; David repeated it flawlessly. After the oath, I was able to take off his LTJG silver bars and replace them with lieutenant bars! After a few handshakes and paper signing, it was official! We celebrated by going out for lunch at Pizza Nova in San Diego splitting a pepperoni/pepperoni & mushroom pizza, ceasar salad and a yummy apple cobbler dessert! We decided it best to keep Mads in daycare since the location of the ceremony was under heavy construction...not a good place for our little love bug. I just finished up sewing on his new patches on his uniforms so he's all set for his first full day of work on Monday as LT Gardner - so proud of him!!
