"Semper Fi"

Semper Fi-- or --Semper Fidelis means "Always Faithful" by exact translation in latin.

I have decided to use this as my blog title. For a few reasons. First because my husband is joining the marines. Second becuase is sounds really cool.

The first time i saw this phrase, it was on tonys marines folder when he had first decided to join. I thought it sounded pretty cool but thought nothing of it. After all, my husband was never going to join the millitary; i would be in texas forever. yay!

My mom always told me the best way to make the lord laugh is to set out a life plan. It seems she was right. Im moving. Far away from texas. Im not exactly sure when or where to yet. But soon i will know.

I can either follow my husband to where ever he is for follow up training and not get to live with him, or i can move to Utah and get my schooling done. Oh and lets not for get, And not get to live with him.

This fact alone is what got me really thinking about "Semper Fi." I began to think of all the possible reasons they chose that phrase. And then i realized they didnt chose it for one reason. But for several, many. Infact there are several reasons to each marine. So millions and millions of reasons.

After this amazing apifanny, something amazing happened to me. Im sure it happens to many people all the time. But it was, to me, euphoric.

Okay, stop holding your breath; I'll tell you. I ate a piece of Dominoes Veggie pizza. Then i got back to thinking.

Once i was thinking on a full stomach, i thought of what it meant to me.

I decided that for me it was a symbol of hardship and joy. Hardship because i would constantly be away from my husband. Joy because next to serving the lord, serving our country and protecting that of the constitution is one of the most nobile things you could do.

I thought of the effect it would have on my family. Both negative and positive.

On Whole, Im extremly proud of my husband. I have a newfound respect for him aswell.
