Another 4 Years

On Febuary 3, 2012, Jason re-enlisted for another 4 years in the United States Marine Corps! He is such a stellar Marine. Many of the junior marines that work under him tell him how they look up to him. How he is one of the most admirable Marines they've known and enjoyed working under. He was just told by a Cpl. the other day that he admired GySgt Evans because he has the ability to work through any situation with a sense of calming and self-control. He never flies off the handle when a tough situation presents itself.  This junior marine admired how well Jason handled his job as a Marine.  It made me proud!!
Jason has now been in the Marine Corps for 14 years and 6 months. This August he will hit his 15 year mark!! He is so close to being done....BUT.....I don't think I want that day to come! I absolutely LOVE being a Marine Corps wife...it's in my blood!!! We now have another 4 years (with a possible extension around the end to push him to exactly 20 years) and then who knows what will happen after that. All I know is that this man is by far the most incredible Marine I have ever known and I love him and I couldn't be prouder of him.
Now, these are not pictures from his re-enlistment. Unfortunately, I could not be there as I was in NY taking care of my sister. These are just some pictures that I took a couple months ago...kind of fitting to the whole re-enlistment. They were taken outside of the Marine Corps Museum which is where Jason originally planned his re-enlistment but since we could not attend he cancelled that and had it over at OCS.

Jason, I am so proud of you...for all that you do, all that you give and the many countless ways you love & provide for this family. The daily sacrifice you make to protect and care for us is what makes me love you so deeply. I am proud to be your wife and I will continue to be behind you every step of the way as you continue your journey through the Marine Corps and every step after that! I love you!
