Memories..........................

A couple weeks ago one of my closest friends Wendys son called to speak with Abe.

He was calling to ask him about the Marine Corps, now anyone that knows Abe knows how he feels about the Marines.........he was born to be one. But since he could no longer be in the Marines it rarely gets talked about, I think it is just to painful. But boy could I see the excitement in his face while he talked to Timmy about everything from what they have to offer, the strength and dedication you must have to be successful in the Marines, and most of all the pride it gives you to be a United States Marine. With all that being said they got off the phone and we wondered what he would do with that info, maybe go in another branch of service like my brother did by going into the Air Force or like Abes brother who went into the Army........... well we got our answer last saturday when Wendy came to visit and told me he is leaving for Marine Corps bootcamp this week!!!!!!!!!! I think Abe is secretly so proud.

So it got me thinking about our time in the Marines and being a emotional wreak right now I just wanted to cry, those were some of the best times in my life and I know in Abes! Thats when we met, fell in love and had the best times ever!!!! I can't wait to tell Freddy when he grows up about what a amazing father he has and the things he did, like become NCO of the year over I think it was like 4000 Marines. He received so many other honors that I won't bore you with, but it is like everyone says " I AM HIS BIGGEST CHEERLEADER". I sit here on my birthday while Abe is at work thinking of how proud I am to be his wife, no matter what he does. So with that here are a couple pictures from our times in the Marines........the one is of us at the Marine Corps Ball, it was a great time he found out he was going to have another dream of his come true by becoming a drill instructor. I was so proud!!!! The other one is him in a marathon, he is a runner at heart and it was always between him and his friend Ron in the company of the fastest runners. Again I really could go on and on about his accomplishments but I will stop here...................
