We are so proud of Blake


Most of you know that my little brother Blake joined the United States Marine Corps. I know that it’s going to be a fast 3 months and he will be done with boot camp and can come home for a break. We are so proud of him and his drive to serve our country especially with everything going on right now. He has always been such a determined kid and he made his mind a long time ago that he was going to join and no one was talking him out of it, not for all the tears in the world. It was all I could do just to make him wait until after my wedding to leave for boot camp. I know that it’s going to be really hard but I know that he will gain a lot from it and I just have to remember that this is what he wants and he will have some awesome life experiences from this opportunity. We miss you Blake and we can’t wait for you to come home.
