Being A Good Friend
Being a good friend can be hard sometimes. Friendship like life comes with growing pains along with good times and bad times.
PCSing Pregnant: A Pep Talk
As wonderful as military life can be, it sure does throw you for a major loop every now and then. In my (short) experience, this usually happens during a deployment or a pregnancy. Currently, for me, it’s the latter.
EYB: Fort Bragg, North Carolina
All the way! Airborne! Welcome to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, home of the Airborne and Special Operations Forces and one of the largest installations in the country.
Happy Birthday, USA: An ode to my home, sweet home
Hey there, America! Remember me? I know it’s been a while. For the past two years I’ve been residing in Germany, following the love of my life to yet another duty location. And as much as I love it here (and I definitely do), I often miss you.
You’re 242 years old today, Independence Day, but, my, oh my, you certainly look good. You’ve been through a lot over these past almost two and a half centuries. You’ve had your ups and downs, but I still would choose you over living almost anywhere else.
You will always be my home, sweet home.
White Space
If you’re like me, you look at the calendar you carry under your arm every day, the good old-fashioned day planner, and you see your future, planned out meticulously for weeks on end. From childrens’ activities, to work functions, doctors appointments, and, oh yes, even your trips to the grocery store.
6 Cleaning Chores to Remember When You PCS
With every PCS, there are little moments of excitement. For instance, the stars twinkle a little brighter when you receive the keys to your new house and anticipate the good times at this fresh address. Your imagination swirls with DIY projects to try from your Pinterest boards. Your children jump for joy to freely run around their new backyard and pets are happy to bid farewell to your temporary lodging quarters. As you walk in the front door, you and your military family can look forward to settling in and feeling at home. But first, you have to complete the exit cleaning chores.
Changes and Challenges
When I think about what the future holds, the only phrase that comes to mind at the moment is Warrant School.
My husband has been planning to apply to become a warrant officer, and this year, he finally put in a packet to hopefully become part of the selection process. I’m partially excited, since he’s been talking about doing this for years now, but also partially terrified.
