congratulations lance corporal

*

**

brent graduated this morning and was promoted to lance corporal... he finished first in his class with an average of 99.3%... (only missed one question on one test...)

this morning went something like this:

he was one of three that were honored... they take a few minutes to call out the top three of the class to come forward and present them with a special certificate... they started with the announcement of lc martindale graduating with 99.3%... then pfc ??? with 93.5%... then pfc ??? with 92%...

kind of looks like the picture above...

funny thing... one time when we were playing the newlywed game with some friends (hi aaron and vicki) we got the question, who has the higher iq? and i said myself and brent said himself... we lost at that game... and then as soon as we went home we took iq tests... and of course brent won... i was determined to beat him, but only made it worse on myself, because each test we took, he still won... and of course he was so sweet as to print off our scores just to make sure to remind me who had the higher iq... i should have known...

he is dang smart... and i am dang proud!
