Serving His Country

On Tuesday, Max took the oath and was sworn in as a U.S. Coast Guard recruit!

A very proud moment for us all! So proud of him for the choice he's made and the man he's become. Grateful to God for the character He has wrought in his life. Heart overflowing!

We took him to the airport in Portland, Maine, and he was off to Cape May, New Jersey for eight weeks of boot camp. 

And, like a mom, I've been pretty teary all week. Missing him SO much! But I'm very happy he's getting to do what he wants to do!
