doesn't it look like it's the two of them off to war against the world?
our men were promoted to captains and the bestest boss on earth gave me "dispensation" (oh how i love that word!) to begin my weekend at 4pm this evening. the promotees pulled a quick change charlie in the office and we hurried to the next street where the waiting steed was parked. made it to the ceremony hall with seconds to spare, although we were relegated to the latecomers' row :(
the ceremony was funny - plagued with technical glitches and they even took a lengthy "technical break" to sort things out. and this was compounded by the one hour of propaganda songs and videos we were subjected to before the actual ceremony. the only thing i concluded is that for the next general elections, home should be played on repeat at the polling booths if the incumbents want to guarantee a landslide victory. just listening to the song once through made me feel more patriotic than i have in months.
on an unrelated note, they joke that in the army, they "wait to rush then rush to wait". today i saw first hand why.
bellyaching aside, twas nice to be a small part of a big part of their lives. and so glad to have had our favourite couple celebrating too :)
