LT COL Promotion Party!!!!

On January 15th we found out fantastic, yet very surprising news...  Russ was selected to be promoted 'below the zone' to Lt Colonel.  That is in civilian terms "promoted early" and a very good deal.  We were very excited because this is a pretty big deal!  

Now, Russ will not actually pin on for quite a while, but in the Air Force, when the 'list' comes out, the guys who are promoted are pretty much required to throw a party as soon as possible... so $350 later (what we each had to pay... ouch) the party ensued.  As unexpected as it was, we were not complaining!  Soooooo proud of Russ!

um... yeah... is this what a future LT COL looks like?
