It Really Happened!

Today was an absolutely wonderful day. Stewart commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant (2LT) and he is also graduated! We had such a great time in Logan for this long awaited event. I was so proud of Stewart today. He looked so sexy and cool in his army greens.

He was sworn in by LTC Curtis who was the commanding officer of the ROTC when Stewart was up there. Stewart's mom and I pinned on Stew's gold bars. It was such a neat program and I was a little emotional as Stewart was being sworn in. I think that it's so awesome how he wants to serve his country. Stewart used to want to be a helicopter pilot but now he wants to be in an armor unit. He has said that he will be happy with whatever he gets because he just wants to serve in the army. We will have to wait until the beginning of September to find out what he assesses in but just getting college over and done with is a huge relief!

Stewart gave me a really pretty necklace in honor of my part in his graduation. :) (it's so nice to be appreciated!) His parents and I went in on a shotgun for 2LT Brough because I didn't want to see what it looked like for a 2LT to cry.

It was just a really GREAT day and I'm so happy that it has come and passed without incident.

The first part of this video is the officers oath. Hopefully you can hear it because it's really neat. The second part is the pinning of the gold bars and the third is the silver dollar salute.





Pinning the bars.


A happy mother!
