Luis & I had the best weekend with family doing some wedding planning.
let’s just say today is gonna be a major gym day for us bc we ate our hearts out at our wedding food tasting. we’re so excited we found our caterer! the food+drinks are going to be so yummy & perfect for our Summer wedding.
planning a wedding is honestly soo much fun, I’m loving being a bride! what makes it even better is having so many awesome people to help us plan it, & of course my best friend every step of the way. ;) ♥️ ahh pinch me, I must be dreaming! lol #HappilyEverEsparza

WEAKNESS
.
✅You guys already know for Father’s day weekend we hit up Myrtle Beach!
.
❌I also got sick and had a fever on both Saturday and Sunday!
.
⏪⏪⏪SWIPE to the last picture to see my infrared heat signature!
.
On Monday I was feeling lazy and out of it. In short working out was not something I was looking forward to.
.
What did I do
.
✅I did a HIIT workout in the morning and a regular chest workout during lunch!
.
WHY...you already know...Wifey is beating me at the moment in the fitness department.
.
I have some serious catching up to do before our Hilton Head mini vacation in July.
.
YES.... it was a pretty difficult workout to get through!
.
Look at my face!!♂️
.
Point is.....
.
✅DO IT ANYWAYS!! EVEN IF YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE IT
.
Do I look like DEATH⁉️

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
.
This Memorial Day I am taking some time to look back and focus on all the spouses, mothers, daughters and fathers that have received the U.S. flag from me in 2019.
.
Everyone always reacts differently, some quiet and reserved while others completely give in to their emotions and let it take over them.
.
Through it all, as the presenter of the flag, we must maintain our composure and say the final words.
.
No matter what happens, no matter how everyone reacts, we stay focused and complete the mission.
.
Like I mentioned 2 months ago when this picture was taken, it is a difficult task that many never experience.
.
This Memorial Day weekend, let us CELEBRATE the lives of the men and women that lived and die in support of our freedoms!
.
Who will YOU remember this Memorial Day weekend

CLOSING ⚠️READ⚠️
.
Ok that was click bait!
.
If you actually read this entire thing we can probably be friends in real life
.
A couple of days ago I was ready to close my account after only 3 months on Instagram.
.
There were multiple fake accounts opened using my stolen pictures.
.
Over 90% of you said “keep going”!
.
Thank you all for your feedback.
.
I decided to keep my account OPEN.
.
@kokeyepes reached out to me and framed it this way “If the positive impact from your message outweighs the negatives, keep going”
.
This forced to clarify what my message really is.....it isn’t just to post nice pictures.
.
I want to serve as a living breathing EXAMPLE that you CAN balance your Family, Military, Fitness and Financial goals.
.
1️⃣When I tell you read dozens of books to shift your “hood” mentality to one focused on success, I’ve done that.
.
2️⃣When I tell you Marines don’t eat crayons and can finish school while serving it’s because I just completed the first semester of my Masters Degree at Penn State.
.
3️⃣When I tell you that you don’t need to be divorced multiple times despite all the deployments, it’s because I’ve been with Wifey for 18 years.
.
4️⃣When I tell you to manage and invest your money so you can be in the top 1% net worth individuals in America...it’s because I’m already there.
.
5️⃣When I tell you study get a 95 or higher on the ASVAB, it’s because I’ve done that!
.
6️⃣When I tell you set yourself apart and be excellent at your job, it’s because I have a chest full of stars showing sustained excellence in my 17 years in the Corps.
.
7️⃣When I tell you build memories with your child instead of focusing on material things it’s because I’m doing it.
.
8️⃣When I tell you getting older is no excuse to be fat and weak, it’s because I’m in the gym putting in work.
.
I WILL NOT talk about things that I have not done or am not currently doing.
.
I believe this page can provide value to an 18 year old Poolee, a young Sergeant, an old 1stSgt, a Military spouse, a veteran and even regular civilians that will be able to relate!
.
Did I make the RIGHT choice

As #marines it is our responsibility and duty to look out for one another - PFC Danny McGuire taught me that lesson in 2008. Danny, we let you down - #thankyou for sacrificing the ultimate #sacrifice to teach us about #leadership and being a #marine #kia #memorialdayweekend #memorialday #usmc #marinecorps #veteran #futuremarine #poolee #boston #massachusetts #veterans #military #army #navy #airforce #36mafia #camplejeune #cheers #coastguard #infantry #grunt #0311 #duty #responsibility #dannyboy
