Happy Birthday Marines!
Will and I along with my parents went to Will's last USMC ball. It was very bittersweet for the both of us! We love the corps, it is apart of who we are. It is in our blood. But the time has come for our lives to go in a different direction. So in about 9 months Will will get out of the corps and move onto the corporate world. No more deployments, no more raising the babies on my own, having a husband home at night to hold me! Man what an amazing thing. I know most cant begin to understand why having having husband take our your trash, mow your lawn, deal with car issues, bbq some chicken, or just having him raise your children can make you so estactic. But after dealing with months and months of being on your own, watching your child do everything for the first time , wondering if your husband would come home, having chills every time the door bell rang for fear it would be a man in uniform coming to tell you the worst possible news, you cant wait for the day when your in the clear , no more deployments and a husband thats home, that completes your family!
Sorry for getting so deep. Dont know how the blog ended that way. The ball was great, and sharing it with my parents was awesome! The secretary of defense spoke and did an amazing job. The food was amazing and so was dessert! Hope you all enjoy the pictures.
