Dh's Air Force retirement ceremony is this Friday. He's having the ceremony early (it's also his birthday!) so his current commander can retire him. He's the absolute best boss he's ever had in his 26 years in the military! Then it's back to work until mid-August when he actually stops working and we pack up and move to Ohio.
Please say a prayer for him and that I'm not an emotional mess. I'm just so proud of him. Our oldest son wants to get up and say something to his dad and I know I'm going to loose it then for sure.
Thanks!
****UPDATE - Pictures are on our blog!
Thanks for the prayers. I was extremely emotional but not a mess!

I'm all misty just thinking of it - I'm so emotional when I think of or face our husbands and their heroic level of service to our country! It makes me so proud of them!
I'm praying for you, Lisa! All I can say is bring plenty of hankies and kleenex and wear waterproof mascara!

Go ahead and cry! Just skip the mascara and bring lots of tissues.
Congratulations!

Molly has given you excellent advice.
I so dread my husband's retirement ceremony...and it's at least two years away!
