April 2009- Greg's promotion to Lt. Commander O4

Greg gets to go to "work" at the University of Minnesota. Earning a Phd. in Medical Physics in 3 years is plenty of work. Behind him is the old fortress and is now used as the ROTC unit. He only checks in 2 times a year to do the fitness test. Living in MN has been totally different for us being in the Navy, having just come from a saturated military enviroment. We met and saw this captain the day of Greg's promotion and the day the captain retired! That's it. Greg and I feel out of the loop being students there isn't much going on anyway. We appreciate the bonds we've made prior to this duty station and look forward to the future.
Living together is always an adventure!

Fine Navy Day!
We all were treated to a tour of the "castle", the kids thought it was awesome. It looked like a great hangout as a grownup tree house inside. Decorated with cool pictures and flags on the wall only one TV. No one was scared of the height except the captain that showed us the way.
They love their dad! Greg makes extra effort to know and be with the children as much as possible. Being home more has it blessings.

Greg works hard to go above and beyond the call of duty. It's his pleasure and ours!
