Lieutenant Johnson





Jeremy commissioned as a Lieutenant on Dec. 18. His commissioning ceremony was pretty special and it meant a lot for Jeremy to finally have this opportunity! We're proud of him for his honest love for our country and proud service he feels he "owes".

*check out his brace-less smile!!! He still needs more dental work, veneers and implants, but his teeth are so much better than they were!














I was able to pin his bars on during the ceremony





















The Lieutenant and his wife!

(I made this dress the night before out of my 'black-backdrop material' that I used for pictures. I bought it a few years ago for $1 a yard. SO, this dress only cost me about $2!)
















LTC Dewalt presented Jeremy with a framed document and bayonet, along with delivering the Officer's Oath.





















Our wiggly family






















This is SGM Tonks, he presented Jeremy with his first salute. Jeremy asked him because he was Jeremy's 1SG while he was in Iraq. Jeremy has always looked up to him and appreciates his leadership qualities.

(And, these two ran together for quite a bit of the marathon!)















Hugs and congratulations from family






















ROTC guys















Lots of support! We're ALL so proud of you Jer!














For JEREMY'S graduation and commissioning gift, my boys and I gave him (and me!) tickets to go SKYDIVING!!!
