He's In!

Aaron is on his way to enlist in the Marine Reserve this evening. He's BUMED (medical tests) regarding his blood pressure came back with the "okay." This is something he has been praying about for a while. It just seems like nothing has been working out this past year for him. We weren't sure this was going to either. The metal plate in his leg and his high BP could have easily held him back. But the door remained open.
It is scary. I know things can happen in the Marines. It's no cakewalk and he could be shipped out. But, when I look at it, are the odds really much worse than driving on the highway or other everyday occurances? There are no guarrantees about how long you life will be. So, you've go to be willing to go where you are called. This is it for Aaron. I know he will do great and this will be the challenge of his life! I'm excited for him .
