Sorry for the Delay!

I know it took me a long time to post these, but I've been really busy! The trip to San Diego was amazing! I have never been so proud of anyone or anything in my life. Jordan's graduation was very cool. I've never gotten to experience anything like it. He was at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego and it was nothing like I had expected. I thought it would be dirty and scary, but it wasn't! It was actually really beautiful! But the coolest part was watching all 447 of his company march and move all at the exact same time. He was in Hotel Company, Platoon 2173. There were 6 platoons all together in the company, and his received the title "Honor Platoon". There were only a couple guys in the whole company who scored higher than him on the rifle shooting day, so he did really well. I'm very proud of him, and he's really proud of himself. He gained 25 lbs. and looks great! He's a lot more respectful and I really do think he has a new sense of motivation. I'm surprised at how much he has changed...but it's all in a good way. He's still the same old Jordan but he's just got funnier stories! haha... He has to report back to MCRD on February 5th, so at least he will be home for both of our birthdays!! :)
here are some pictures: This is his actual graduation, (the others were from the family day we had the day before ) They didn't wear their dress blues, which I was a little sad about, but he still looked very handsome! He is the third one from the right in the first row! it was hard to find him though!And then we got to go to the beach and watch the sunset! It was so beautiful! The waves were crashing up on those rocks! I loved it! But I put my feet in the Pacific Ocean for the first time and the water was so cold that my toes were numb for like 2 hours! And don't worry, I'm not actually pregnant, that's just a bad picture of me!We're cute!One of his full uniforms, he looked cute! but he's still shaving his eyebrows so he kinda looks like a goober in this one!And he's already gotten another tattoo! For those of you who don't know, Semper Fi is the Latin term for "Always Faithful" and It's like the Marine Corps motto this tattoo was actually my idea:) I think it's kinda hot but his nickname from his Drill Instructor was "gangster" because of all of his tattoos haha so now he's really gonna catch some shit because i'm guessing he'll get at least 2 more while he's home.

Well that was a lot! But it was a wonderful trip and his graduation was very cool. I'm so happy I got to be there for it. I would have never thought at this time last year that Jordan would be doing this, but it's easier for me to stomach all of this now that I've seen how proud he is of himself and what he has transformed into!
