Household6

Ok I mentioned yesterday about my husband’s sunburn. The top of his head is far worse but his back looks pretty bad too. I was finally able to get a picture to share…

????????

Many people have different events/memories that kick off the beginning of summer for them. Sometimes it the first day of summer vacation, others its the first family trip to the beach. However in our house, its the first sunburn of the season

Just kidding.. its the first weekend hanging out at the pool here on post.

The pool here on post officially opened and off we headed for a weekend of fun hanging out at the pool. We always look forward to hanging out at the pool. The kids always have a blast playing with their friends… Dan and I have fun chatting and catching up with our friends.

Well after 30 minutes of being at the pool.. the weather turned bad really quick. According to my ipod touch, the weather showed sunny all day. Oh joy, drag unhappy kids out of the pool in the rain.

So today we checked the weather again (double checked too) and off we went to the pool to try again. This time was much more successful. We had a great day of playing, swimming and catching up. Apparently I was lacking in school information, because i got caught up so much I found out that school for the kids ends 4 days earlier than I thought it did~ Oops!! (I’m just glad that we found out now rather than later LOL )

It also rang in another milestone of summer… the eventual sunburn for my hubby. Yes SGT Dan is a nice shade of red. I’m a little sunburned too but its a brownish red so not too bad. (I’ll be tan in a day or so) The kids of course just got tan. As soon as I can get a picture of “fire engine red boy” , I’ll post it.

Happy Summer!

Can you believe I’ve been blogging here at Household6 for 2 years now? Well actually it was February 23 2006 but I was very sick that day so no blogging occured.

So much has changed since then… our kids, us, Dan’s rank, our duty station,etc. Even the blog has changed.. from Blogger now here on Wordpress! I wonder what holds for us and the blog over the next 2 years and beyond… only time will tell. For we all know the saying, Expect the Unexpected!

It’s funny to go back and read some of my original posts and how little I knew about the Army back then. I was the one seeking out advice from those “more experienced” Army wives and now I’m giving out the advice. The Army has certainly given us an education over the last couple of years. Although, Dan has been in only since 2005, it still seems like yesterday I was seeking answers to PCS moves, Tricare, EFMP Resources, etc.

Our audience has also grown quite a bit over the last few years and I’ve met some wonderful friends, online and offline. I started out with 1 reader (me!) and now we’ve grown to over 150 readers including my hubby! Thank you!

So before I get too mushy and get my keyboard all wet… Happy Birthday Household 6!

The official list was released today! Dan will be promoted to SGT (E-5) effective Feb 1st. His official promotion ceremony will be sometime that week.

Congratulations DannyBoy! You definitely worked hard to acheive that!

I’m very happy to announce that Dan is now Specialist-Promotable Munson!! He passed his E-5 Promotion Board today!! He scored 148 out of 150! I’m so very proud of him as he’s worked very hard the last couple of weeks!

We just have to wait for the lists to come out to see when he actually gets promoted but we are pretty sure it will be in the next month or so because he has the promotion points almost maxed out!
