My Marine, Pvt. Steven M. Finstad

my 18 yr old brother officially became a US Marine on 9-11-09!

first we saw the colors ceremony..
and i cried.


7 platoons graduated that day
and they all marched out before us...
and i cried.



and i cried.
"They are soo handsome!!!"

my brother is in the first row, 4th from the right
my mom, malory and i turned into puddles






we all only got to spend maybe 4 hrs together before he had to catch his flight to MN for his 10 day leave

but it was worth it
