He Did It!!!!!

The title of this entry has 2 different meanings. For those of you that know. Mark and some of his academy buddies thought it would be a wonderful idea to grow out a mustache until they graduated. Now Mark can't grow facial hair this is something that he has found humor in and also enjoys not shaving every day. Here is his mustache, that you can only see in certain light. It took us a few tries to get a picture of it, but here you go. Nasty isn't it? I sure thought so, however if I told someone that he was growing a musctache and they saw him, they would ask where is it I can't see it? So when the light hits it just right you get the Mark Stache! Lovely don't you think? Anyway he promised me the day he graduated the academy he would shave and he did! Much much better!

Okay Mark also graduated the academy. It was pretty awesome! They had a nice little program for spouses that I really could of done without, but it was everything Mark told me it would be and much more negative than I was expecting. Anyway enough about my awful experience. I love how the director looks like he is crying (they guy at the microphone) He loves my Mark just as much as I do.......

Mark got an award for his physical fitness. He and I laughed about it later, he is probably most slender guy there, and he missed getting the top award by 1/2 a point. Bummer. Mark was impressed with his shrinking hair line in this picture. Is the light right can you see the stache?

Marin was also a peach during his graduation. It was only an hour and any time she thought about getting fussy I would push the button so the red eye light would come on and you would get this look.


After graduation Mark's Grandpa took us out to lunch, YUM! Mark is holding Aurora here and watching Marin while Frieda and I went and got food, the man of the hour babysitting. Way to Serve and protect!

When all is said and done it was a good day and a wonderful night thanks to the mustache removal. By the way Mark has a mustache in this picture and you can't see it even when we blew it up. Can you find it? I know you know where to look but it is like the invisible mustache now you see it...........
