Semper Fi Till I Die.: Rewind.

Well! It's been far too long since my last blog, but let me tell you, a lot has happened since late November. I went to San Diego and watched my baby graduate as a United States Marine. The entire trip was amazing. Being able to hug him again after 3 months was a feeling and memory I will never forget. The ceremony itself was different than I had expected, but I did really enjoy it. After graduation I gave Aaron his graduation/birthday/Christmas present. I got him an iPhone 4, and I am happy to say that he absolutely loves it (how could you not?!). While in California I also got a chance to meet Lauren in person. Lauren and I had been talking since right when our boys left back in September. It was nice to be able to put a face with all of the conversations! Also, shortly after getting back into Wisconsin, I turned 21. It was one hell of a weekend to say it simply! Aaron's birthday was 4 days after mine and we spent that celebrating in Holmen with his family and friends. Now I am back in Madison finishing up the semester and taking finals. Tomorrow is my last day of class for the semester and my last final is Tuesday the 21st. I can't wait to go home after finals and spend more time with Aaron before he goes back to MCT first of the year. I'm extremely thankful that I get to spend the Holidays with Aaron and our families. I know a lot of Military families are without their loved ones this holiday season. Please be sure be thankful for who you have with you this Holiday because I know a lot of Marine significant others that would trade places with you in a heart beat.
