Today Alex was sworn in as a Captain in the Air Force. Yep, that's right, I am a very proud wife and just wanted to share the good news! We went in, signed all of the official documents, and after a short little ceremony he's official!
So, what does that mean? Basically nothing. He's not active duty until he enters Officers Training in June so being made a captain today is just so they can get all of the paperwork sorted and get his orders issued. But as soon as he's entered into the system he can get his military ID and we can start getting discounts! Fun, fun! It was kinda funny to hear the recruiter actually call him Captain Gubler afterwards when he was having him sign the final forms. And yes, Alex thinks that this is going to make it so he's the boss now because "I'm higher ranked--you're just a civilian..." Ya right! We finally settled on me calling him Captain Dork. I think it suits! j/k He's really AWESOME! Love you!! =)
So here's the photos!

Congrats Alex and Nicole. That is awesome. While it's a huge move away from all of us I'm really excited for you guys.
That is pretty cool Captain Gubler! Congrats!
Congrats!! How strange to think of you as a military family. I think you are going to love it. Zaylee doesn't look like she is too sure about all of it.
thats awesome Nicole... I have to agree that Zaylee is not looking so happy about it. Congrats congrats.
Kurt thinks Alex should have shown up in a tuxedo! (In reference to our phone conversation last night...) Congratulations! Now he outranks all of us! :)
yeah, he had to call me that day. your name is a lot nicer than mine would be...
i'm older, and he will never, NEVER outrank me.
hey! you got your haircut! it looks great!
Congrats! Speaking of dicounts if you ever get to Hawaii you should check out the Hale Koa (military only) five star hotel. It was awesome! Good luck being a military family and thank you & Alex for serving our country!
Congratulations! We had no idea you guys were heading in that direction! So, does that mean you guys are going somewhere in June?
Congrats! We are so excited for you guys. After all your hard work your little family deserves it! We will miss you guys when you move but we will definitely be visiting you in Texas because you will be right in the same city as my grandparents...now we have several reasons to visit Texas! BTW...I love the Captain Dork haha!
