Celebrate Good Times…Come on!

We did a lot of celebrating over the past few weeks. Here are some of the special events that took place…big and small.

Ring Dance. Fifteen years ago, Anthony and I attended his USAFA Ring Dance. That’s right, FIFTEEN! We were such babies back then. That was also the night he proposed. I said yes, by the way 🙂 Loved reliving that night with this handsome man. Still a sucker for that uniform.

To top off this memorable evening, Anthony took it one step further and gave me my “anniversary” gift (another ring) on the same dance floor where I got my first ring all those years ago. Love him.

I have been given the amazing opportunity to fill in as the interim Operations and Strategy Director (my boss is moving out of town with her family). This role brings with it a lot of responsibility, but equal opportunity to grow and shine. Going to do my best and maybe they’ll just let me stay in this role permanently.

This week is graduation week at the Academy and the end of Anthony’s first AOC year. One more year to go and then we’ll see where the Air Force sends us. Hopefully, no where and he can finish out the last couple years of his career here in Colorado. We’ll see.

**Update – Anthony was just told that he will be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel! I had no doubt, but I’m so proud of him and all of his accomplishments. Tydingco’s doing big things!
