23 Mar 2013Promotion to MSgt is in the bagI took my promotion test this week and I think I crushed it. My estimate is that I should make it by 18 points, which is a large margin. I believe I will find out on May 16th, and that will be one super happy day indeed if I do make it. It also would mean no more studying for military promotion tests, ever!
Meanwhile, I am preparing for my PT test on 18 April. Running is hard, and it has been too cold lately, but I ran today anyway despite the rain. Michigan plays in the NCAA tournament in an hour, so I am pretty pumped about that as well - Go Blue!

- 2 Mar 2013Kelley visits Ohio and is working like crazyKelley's work recently switched to new software and it has been a major headache, causing Kelley to work some very long hours. Hopefully this time of craziness for her is nearing its end. Regardless, she is about to take a 6 day vacation and go visit her parents in Ohio. I'll be staying here, minding the house and animals and continuing to study for my promotion test in less than 3 weeks. I am going to make it - I look forward to announcing it in May!

One piece of software I got was PDG Adviser, a promotion preparation program. I test for my next rank on 20 March and I am determined to make it this year. Finally, Michigan has its best basketball team in 20 years and I having a great item watching all their games!

Check out all of our links.- 12 Jan 2013Bring it on, 2013!So, another year is upon us (already!) and we aim to make it a great one! Kelley is pushing hard to learn Spanish, which will help her with her job and future employment. DJ is concerned with upgrading the house and the yard for the eventual moving out of this place. 2012 was fine, but 2013 is going to be great!

- 18 Dec 2012Our trip to Disney World!We finally got around to taking a trip to Disney World after living down here in {image}4472|right{image}Georgia for over 3 years. I had previously been to all the parks during Thanksgiving week around 1990 with my mom, so it seemed fitting that Kelley and I would also go during Thanksgiving week. W

- 14 Dec 2012Disney!Despite not having kids, we took a 4 day Disney vacation during Thanksgiving week. We drove down and went to all 4 major parks from Mon-Thur. We had a great time and did a lot of cool stuff. I am currently working on a blog that will go into detail about all we did.
Besides that, Christmas is coming up and we are not doing anything besides enjoying some extra time off. It will be nice. 2013 is shaping up to be a busy year and we want to be ready to kill it!
