Much has happened in the last two months, and I am determined to get it all down. Sarah finished school, and she was commissioned into the Army as a Second Lieutenant, drawing her 4-year undergrad journey – and ROTC cadet career – to an end. Her commissioning ceremony went smoothly, and I was honored to help her father pin on her new rank.
About a week later, we had our formal wedding ceremony at an outdoor venue in Oklahoma City. We had a great time, and Sarah looked incredibly beautiful… I was speechless! Afterwards, we stayed the night at the Colcord Hotel in downtown OKC. The hotel was glamourous and nice, and we enjoyed having a slow night to ourselves.
Sarah was supposed to start school for the Army in two weeks, but her orders have changed, and now we’re staying here for at least another 11 months. I started a job with the OU ROTC Battalion, working as a recruiter – active duty pay and benefits! The job is dull and unexciting, but I’m happy to have somewhere to work and gain experience.
