Wow....what a whirlwind of a weekend! I can't believe this is Tuesday already - what happened to Sunday?
On Thursday we had our company fundraiser, Pie In the Face. We auctioned off pies to be thrown at high ranking NCOs & officers, and let's just say that it went well. Really well! Most random fundraisers we've had made @ $150-$200. This one made $2500.00. Yep, that's not a typo! We took bids for pies throughout the day, and I was estimating that we would make @ $700. Well, once the pies were ready and the soldiers saw the first pie thrown, they went CRAZY!!! Bids started flying and the money got bigger & bigger. Some soldiers put their money together and spent $1000.00 just to put a pie in the 1st SGT's face. It was hysterical!!! By the end of the event, my jaw hurt from laughing so hard. We made a ton of money, but the best part was watching the soldiers have so much fun. They loved it, so we loved it.
My friend Kathleen posted this video of the event on utube, so I've included that on here as well. You will recognize our little monkeys Lena & Rowdy in the video - they were there for the whole thing!
Before I post the video, just a few more things...Christian also went to his promotion board on Thursday and did outstanding. Let me repeat that...outstanding. At least that's what I was told by Captain Phillips and several other NCOs!!! This means that he will most probably be promoted to Sergeant by early December....woohoo....just in time for Christmas shopping $$$!!!
Tonight I ran my first FRG meeting with Captain Phillips. There were @ 45 people in attendance, I was nervous, but I survived!
Hopefully tommorow I can get our Paris blog posted...we had a WONDERFUL time. The more I visit Paris, the more I love it, but we'll get to all of that later.....
blessings!
dicey, christian (boyfriend), & sweet baby monkeys
