Busy Becoming An Officer's Wife

It has been a busy week!  On Monday morning I picked B up from the barracks for his 8 hour pass off post. It was good to see him after 6 weeks of being separated while he has been in WOC (Warrant Officer Candidate) school.  We spent the day in Enterprise and had a great lunch at a local pizza place, Mellow Mushroom.  Sorry, no pictures from the first trip. I will definitely get some the 2nd trip, they have great murals painted on the walls!

Tuesday I spent the day in classes with B on everything related to finances and army traditions & customs.   I find it hilarious they have to teach us what is appropriate dress for semi-formal and formal balls, but I guess there are some wives out there that do not know what appropriate dress for a military ball should be! I learned it is not go-go boots and low plunging necklines.

This morning my dad and I got up early to see B during his victory run at 6:15 am!  The victory run is where the WOC school class runs their last run and rings the bell as a symbol of completing the course.  Here are some pictures from the morning festivities.

B is the last one on the left, he is the tallest one in the class!

We have had a jammed packed day Wednesday evening & today, but I will leave that for another post.

Til' next time,
