Ok, for anyone and everyone who's been anxiously awaiting the news....................

I am now the proud wife of a Naval Chief Petty Officer!!!!! Sailorman just called, and scared me half to death, because his first words were, "OH MY GOD!!!!" Nothing else for about a min, just OMG!!!! I hope that I didn't break his ear drum when he told me, but I did scream!!!! I am SO proud of him and the hard work he's done, and he did it w/out kissing any butt to get there!!!! Did it all on his own merit!!!! My hands are shaking in excitement, cause we were trying so hard not to expect this to actually happen, so if it didn't we wouldn't be too disapointed!!!!

Thank you all for your prayers and support!!!!

Love to ALL!!!!

Aut,

Thank you VERY much! Sailorman and I went out to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner, just us two. It was very yummy! I told Sailorman that once he gets paid for being E-7, we can take the whole family out to the VERY nice restaurant out here! We are also planning on getting family portraits done after he gets "pinned", in his choker whites(formal dress uniform)! His mom will be VERY happy about that, as she's always bugging us about family protrait w/Sailorman in uniform!

JL,

Thank you VERY much too! Yes, being a Navy family, it is a team sport for sure! We've been married almost Sailorman's WHOLE navy career, so I've been through EVERYTHING with him! It's not the easiest thing to do, in fact he just bought me a shirt that says, "Navy Wife: toughest job in the Navy"!

Thank you AGAIN to all who kept this in their prayers!

Love,

Tigger

Bumping it up for Catnip. Just in case you didn't see it before! Not trying to toot our own horn, just letting you see it since you seemed almost as anxious as I was about this!

Also, we do still need prayer in this regard, as with the Navy, becoming a chief is a HUGE deal, and Sailorman is feeling pretty overwhelmed at this moment. Trying to run the recruiting office here AND do all the things the other chief's are "tasking" him with! It's been another slow month for August, and the new guy won't be checking in till next week! Pray that he can get it all done!

After the pinning ceremony on Sept 16th, I will have some pics. I'll post again about that to see who'd like to see this "historical day" in the tigger/sailorman household. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
