This saddens, discourages, and disgusts me.
No mother should ever view the Marine Corps as failure ... especially when it's her own son.

Hey all ... it's been a long while since we've updated. Mike is now full-time Marine Corps. He is working full-time at the base here in MN. He's shadowing the guy who's position he'll be taking over next year as a diesel mechanic. He's also working on his green belt with the USMC. He'll be going to MOS school (job training) for diesel mechanics sometime between November and February. He will also be deploying next spring.

I am back working at Caribou temporarily. I just went back for two mornings a week to help bring in a little income and reap the benefits of working there! I don't know how long I'll be working there but it will most likely be through the end of the year.

And the latest and biggest news for us is that we are adding baby #3!!! Baby 3 is due May 29 and we are praying for a miracle in my body so that I do not need to be on bedrest in March/April. :) Emma will be 26 months and George will be 16 months when the new little one arrives. I'm not very far along so just be praying for us!!!
