Hi! My name is Kristi...here's my story! I'm a wife, mom, daughter, sister, BFF, and the list goes on. I have 3 children. My 2 boys are 19 year old identicle twins (thus "Double Trouble") and my sweetheart daughter is 13...yes 13, and still as sweet as they come...her name is Lindi. "The Boys", Matt & Luke are both members of "The Few, The Proud". I read a quote somewhere that said "he may have enlisted, but I was drafted," hellooooo! How true is that!!!!
My life as a Proud Marine Mom officially began on September 4, 2009 when Luke graduated from boot camp on Parris Island. Not long after, Matt enlisted and took off for the island himself. He graduated February 12, 2010. It has been a roller coaster ride (to say the least) and I have definitely figured out the definition of "Semper Gumby"! I am learning to be as flexible as I have ever been in my life. I have learned the lengths a mom will go for her own Marines as well as others that she doesn't even know. It's been a blessing to realize that you really do become part of a family. We are all in this together.
This blog is probably as much my chance to "vent" as anything else, but maybe along the way it will be a chance to keep anyone who cares up to date as much as possible. I'm sure there will be great news, unexpected twists, screams of insanity, pleads for prayer, and hopefully not too many sad tears. I have a pretty great support system. My sister-in-law, Angie has proven to be able to "stick it out" with me every step of the way for sure! Any new "family" that I am blessed to meet are certainly welcome, as I have questions galore!!!!! Who knows? Maybe I will be able to answer a question some day too!
So, if you're lean and mean (ok, even if you're not either of those) if you just want to support our troops in big or little ways, let's see what we can do together!
Good To Go,
Proud USMC Mom!
