LIFE | We Moved … Twice

March 4, 2020 · LIFE, MILITARY LIFE · Leave a Comment

It’s been a heck of a long time since I’ve written anything for my blog. But if you haven’t seen from my Instagram since I’m on there the most. We have returned from living abroad this past summer. Naturally, it was an extremely stressful move/PCS, but as military life goes, when is it not stressful?

After coming back, we moved straight to Connecticut for a span of 6 months. Yep, you read that correctly, 2 moves in a year and only months apart. It constantly felt like we were on the go and just the thought of not being settled for several months, it was something I wasn’t looking forward to at all. But I enjoyed my time there more than I thought I would, plus we got to reconnect with a lot of friends we haven’t seen in years. [Read more…]

Military Life | What’s Going On?

July 21, 2016 · MILITARY LIFE · 12 Comments

Why yes, it has been way too long since my last blog post. I’m not very good at whipping out posts especially when I have nothing to talk about. My days have been much of the same for the past month since we’re down to the last weeks of A being almost to the point of rotating off of his current boat. We’ve been a one-car duo since his return from deployment and that has been rather interesting. Other than that, if you follow my Instagram and Twitter, you know how eager I am to officially be off of this island. [Read more…]

During our time on Oahu, we have gone through 2 deployments and, to me, they were completely different. I’ve, we, essentially learned so much from each one and have taken several things from our deployments. I’ve decided to put a little list together of what stuck with me during each deployment.

Military Life | A Homecoming Story

First and foremost, thank you to everyone that reached out to me about A’s return from deployment, it really meant so much to me! I had all these plans of how I wanted to document that day, as most of you saw, Snapchat was my outlet for capturing moments of that day. I didn’t exactly get the point of when we actually reunited for the first time, but I have pictures, and to be honest, who really cares about all of that stuff. My husband is home and I couldn’t be happier! [Read more…]

Apparently I’m more focused on things I should be feeling instead of not feeling. Sorry, that doesn’t make sense, but with everything that’s been going on in the past month and a half, I should be stressed. However I am not, so thank goodness for that.

Deployment | My Husband Helped Me Through My Run

February 22, 2016 · DEPLOYMENT, MILITARY, MILITARY LIFE · 9 Comments

I’m proud to say I’ve been running strong for the past month and it has been such an accomplishment. But last week turned out to be my crappiest week for running where I couldn’t achieve any of my goals. After one of my runs, which nearly turned out to be a fail, I had thoughts running through my mind and wanted to share in hopes it would inspire someone. [Read more…]
