Change of Command

Well we're one step closer to leaving Fayetteville and starting the new chapter in our life! Thursday was Joe's Change of Command Ceremony in which he gave up his command of Alpha Company after 18 months. It's been a rocky road but full of lessons learned for future use! Joe's mom and sisters Kara and Jen drove down from New York and my parents drove down from Virginia Beach to attend the ceremony as well as numerous friends came to celebrate. Thanks to everyone that was there (Chelsea, Kevin, etc.) We had a nice party on Friday night at our house that we also consider our farewell party too. It was a blast and so nice to see everyone before moving soon. Here are some pictures of the ceremony below:
