Today is the NYC Marine Corp Birthday Ball which will take place on the Intrepid. My marine was requested by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commandant_of_the_Marine_Corps) to be a part of his detail at this Ball. Can you believe that?!?!?!?! Of all the Marines in NY state, mine got hand picked (amongst others, of course) by General Conway...the highest ranking official in the Corp. To boot, the President will be attending too!!!! WOAH!!!!
Instances like these are a reminder to me that my husband is right where God wants him to be - he's on a career path to success. I am pretty sure every wife has to deal with the expectations/changes that come along with their husband's career growth and choices. I must do everything I can to keep up with his career and represent him well to the best of my ability. =)
My husband and I decided long time ago that we would do everything to support each other's career choices. Coming from a culture where women are expected to be home and take care of the family, I am blessed to be married to someone who wants me to have a career and not just a job.
Wives (girlfriends/fiancees), I encourage you to motivate your man to be ALL that he can be in his career and life. Be the wife that supports and motivates, and not the kind that refuses him from succeeding. After all, who they are and what they become will indirectly reflect on us as well. =)
Behind every successful man, there's an even more successful woman cheering him on.
(Men, if you have got a woman like that....consider yourself lucky and dont mess it up!!!)
Mrs. Sgt. P.
(Sorry Babes. I know this is a big day for you, but I just made it about me. =))
