The "S" Squad Chronicles

Todd Gets Promoted!

Sorry it's taken me so long to post this but in case you haven't been in the loop, Todd was promoted from Chief to Chief Warrant Officer June 1, 2010!!!  Alot of the pictures came out blurry, but I did manage to find one that was good.  So low and behold here he is: Chief Warrant Officer Todd Singleton! That's "Sir" to you though...LOL!

                                                

More New Tattoos!

Our friends, Colleen and Tori, came out to visit us for a few days from Hawaii.  On the last night in town, Todd, Colleen, and Tori all got some new tattoos!  The pictures were taken as soon as they were done being inked so there is a little bit of open cuts and it doesn't look perfect...yet.  Over time they will heal and look awesome!  Todd got the oath on his forearm so when he salutes that's the first thing you notice!  Tori got Rosie the Riveter and Colleen got a one of a kind, hand drawn tattoo.  Brett, her son, created the upper portion of the tattoo and she created the bottom half.  I think they all look great!  Hopefully, Todd's done for awhile now!

New Tattoos

During all the hectic moving, vacationing, and traveling, Todd and I went out and got new tattoos!  His is pretty self explanatory...The Raiders symbol.  Mine is more symbolic.  Each picture  represents each duty station we were stationed at.  Starting from the top, the lighthouse: Cape Cod, MA, the dream catcher: Sallisaw, OK, the TX flag: Galveston, TX, the wine bottle: Los Angeles, CA, the hibiscus and turtle: Honolulu, HI and the mardi gras mask: New Orleans, LA.  Where we go next is a mystery but I have enough space to add as I go along.  It took 4 hrs and 30 minutes to get and it sucked every second, but I'm glad I got it done.  I put it on my left side of my body/ribcage.  ENJOY!

The Move In Mess!

All of our boxes are out of the house now!  It's just about set up and ready to live in normally.  I do have to get some little things like plants, shelving, organizational boxes, etc, but other than that it's pretty much done!  ALL the painting is finished as of yesterday.  A video will be coming soon so keep on checking back!  In the meantime click here to check out our mess of boxes during the move in! 

We're Back!

We finally have internet!  This is just a quick post to let you know I am back!  We are kinda, almost settled into the new house in Mandeville, LA!!!  I will be posting a youtube video later this week so you can all see the house for yourself.  I can't wait to show it to you.

We have some friends from Hawaii (Colleen, Tori and Debbie), visiting us already on June 19. 

Also, I have TONS of new pictures to post and share with you.  During our last month in Hawaii we visited the islands of Maui and Kauai.  Be on the look out for those pictures as well. 

Sorry to have been so off the map lately, but it's been hectic.  I can't wait to finally get things settled and get back to posting.  You'll probably see alot more home improvement type posts in the future.  Also, I am going to be doing some cooking/recipe videos more often.

Anyways, just wanted to let you all know we are still alive and will be back to posting!  Have a great day!
