The Retirement Life
This past six months has been my fastest six months in the last 20 years. I honestly don’t remember the last time my life flew by so quickly.
EYB: Fort Hood, Texas
Founded in 1942, Fort Hood is the largest active duty armored post in the entire United States. It’s a giant of an installation, housing two commissaries and major US Army divisions.
Getting to Know your Spouse Through Q&A
“It’s a trap!” my husband warns himself.
“No, it isn’t. I mean it when I say I don’t care to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I’m really that girl, and you married me. Thank you for marrying me…”
There is a pretty good reason why I don’t care to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my husband. We met four days after Valentine’s Day, and every year, that day, that’s the important day. It’s my favorite day of the year—the day-that-we-met day. I would so much rather celebrate our day than Valentine’s Day.
No Longer Just a Resume
Gone are the days when you can type up a resume, submit it to a job posting online or hand it to a recruiter at a hiring fair, and know that your work is done.
Now, if you want to be competitive in the job market, you need a self-marketing plan that includes your resume and a well-crafted LinkedIn profile.
These tools are the two most common ways a recruiter or hiring manager will get to know the professional you and understand the value you can add to their organization.
Recon Rendezvous: Milspouse Marriage Advice
Take a quick lap around any bookstore and you will undoubtedly run into the Relationship Section. Thousands of books have been written on the topic of all things marriage…probably because it’s one of the most simultaneously challenging and rewarding life experiences to which we’re called. When we add in the “military” factor to marriage, that presents an entirely different chapter of information!
They’re Saying Aspergers
Ten years. It had been 10 years since I delivered my last baby boy, and I was telling the nurse that if she didn’t grab a doctor immediately, she or my husband would have to try to play catch.
Everything since that moment has been a ruck I was not equipped for.
I look back through photos and I see it more clearly now. Isaiah always had this almost constant anxiety/intensity about him, this more focused look in his eyes. I remember bringing it up to a doctor once, but she didn’t think too much of it.
Baby Showers and Birthday Parties
This month we celebrated my son’s second birthday, as well as the soon-to-be new addition to our family.
We took advantage of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend and celebrated both occasions the same day. Though they were both early celebrations, it’s tiring being eight months pregnant and traveling, along with planning a birthday party, while also getting ready for another newborn.
