So I am a Marine now! Just posting this to let you know that I'm alive and well. I am so happy right now, I finally did it and I am a US MARINE! The Crucible was something else, I will tell more about that later. Tell everyone I made it, I love them, and I'll be back soon! This is the beginning. I have much to say soon, not much time right now but will see you soon, can't wait :-)

We are proud of Jaxon. In the last year of high school, he had a major hand surgery that threatened to derail his course of becoming a Marine. He also had asthma that he'd have to prove he had overcome. Added to these, Jaxon made the weight minimum for military entry by a mere 5 pounds...meaning he'd likely be one of the smallest recruits in his company. So when these physical challenges stand in the way of a major goal, the measure of a man is by the heart he brings to the fight. What manner of heart; what courage, fortitude, determination, spiritual wellness, and mental toughness would he have to reach this lofty goal of serving his country as a US Marine. We now have an answer. For that we are proud of him and say Semper Fi!
