Welcome to my family blog. I have been married to Mike for over half of my life. I love my Savior, Jesus. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to six terrific, interesting children. My 3 oldest were born to me in my younger years, while my 3 youngest were given to me by God in my older years. I am very blessed. ~Cheri

My Son

My oldest son became a Marine this morning. 

He started the 54-hour Crucible in the wee hours of Wednesday morning and finished up with the 9-mile hike back to the barracks by 7:30 this morning.  He's had no shower, 3 meals ready to eat, and little sleep. 

I haven't slept a whole lot since Wednesday.  I've been up through the nights whispering prayers of strength to his Savior.  I cannot even put into words the pride I feel right now.  He is a Marine.  He proudly serves his country.  He is proudly living his dream.

I can't imagine what that must have been like for you -- for both of you -- during those 54 hours. So glad the Lord sustained him. Congratulations to your Marine son.

a future and a hope

WOW! That's some serious endurance! Congratulation to both you and Seth. Our country is proud to have men like him serving.
