Awards Banquet

One of the many things I love about my husband is that he has such a good work ethic and I'm not the only one that sees that in him.  I'm always amazed when I see all these awards of his.  The past two years that we have been at Hanscom AFB he has won awards and been recognized for his achievement at the squadron level.  In addition, last year, Mike was nominated for Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year, which is an award recognized at the base level.  Sadly, he didn't win, but it was an honor to be nominated.  And yet again, this year he was nominated once more.  However, history repeated itself and although he had been awarded at the squadron level again, he fell short of the annual NCO award.  With being nominated, Mike gets a whole week of different activities around Boston such as a private tour of Fenway Park and the TD Garden.  This year, since we had Makayla I stayed home for most of the events, but we were fortunate enough to have my parents in town during that week so Mike and I were able to attend the awards banquet.  It was our first night out together since having Makayla and it was such fun.  It was great seeing Mike being acknowledged again.  I hope Makayla inherits Mike's drive to succeed.  Keep up the hard work honey!  We're proud of you, always!
