St. Barbaras Ball, Pearl Harbor & promotion

The last couple of days have been busy for us! We had a lot going on.
Thursday night we went to the St. Barbaras Ball. It was a lot of fun hanging out with
friends and having a night out! Then early the next morning on December 7th I took Kyle to Pearl Harbor where he attended the Pearl Harbor Ceremony in rememberance of
those who served during WWII. It was such a great experience and I am
so proud of him! After the Pearl Harbor ceremony we drove to the missouri
battleship and Kyle was promoted to 1LT!! Yay! He's worked hard
for this promotion and I'm so grateful for a wonderful husband who wants to
provide for his growing family! After the ceremony we decided since he also got a pay raise from being promoted we'd go out to eat to celebrate at his choice of restaurant which was Ruby Tuesday in Mililani! He also gets Monday off  so we get a 4 day weekend!

(these guys are always with each other!)
 At the Pearl Harbor Ceremony they rang the bell
6 times to represent each military branch and then
the soldiers marched out in formation.

 After they marched out they created 2 lines where the stood
on both sides of the side walk so the veterans and their
families could walk down the "honor of walk." The soldiers saluted until all
of the veterans and their families made it through.


These guys are always with each other!
