Typing is no longer fun!

We were in Home Depot a few weeks ago and as my husband tells it "that thing just jumped off the shelf and hit her arm!" Cute, hon, real cute! I was walking down the aisle paying no attention whatsoever to what I was doing and hit my arm against this fireplace mat that was [...]

Pass The Cheer

I stumbled across this today and I think its a great idea! Starbuck’s has a new website called www.cheerpass.com. With it you get a numbered cheer pass that can be passed along to the receiver of your good deed. Then that person must perform a good deed and pass it along as well. The website [...]

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I can hardly believe it. Time seems to go by so fast when my husband is home. I’ll never understand why it goes by inherently slower when he’s deployed but it does. I’m so thankful that he is here with me this year and we will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving [...]

My Uniform Fascination

I went to meet my husband for lunch today and he had quite the surprise for me – he was in uniform! Usually the only time I see him in uniform is when he returns from deployments. He goes to work and comes home in civilian clothes and typically, if I meet him for lunch, [...]

My Husband and His Shoes

Please tell me I am not the only one! This was our conversation a few days ago… Rob: "Are we going to start running in the evenings?" Me: "We can if you want to." Rob: "Well, if we’re going to, I need to get a new pair of running shoes." Me: "What’s wrong with the [...]

Famous Last Words

I should really just learn to keep my mouth shut about things that have never happened to me. A few weeks ago, I finished an article for the MTTA website where I talked about what documents you need to get on post if you don’t yet have your vehicle registered. I made the comment that [...]

The News – To Watch or Not?

When my husband was on his first deployment, I struggled with this. Every seasoned Army wife told me to turn it off and to never watch it, especially when he was deployed. I did pretty well with it. The internet seemed to be my downfall so I had to rearrange my homepage and make sure [...]

As Wise As I’ll Ever Be

I went to the dentist last week only to be told that the wisdom teeth could stay in no longer. So I set up an appointment with an oral surgeon. Much to my dismay, he was able to get me in fairly quickly and the four wisdom teeth came out yesterday. I’m 30 and my [...]

Holidays and Deployments

This time last year, I was pretty down. My husband was "vacationing with the Army" as I like to call it and would not be home until after the first of the year. I love Christmas (who doesn’t?). It is my favorite time of the year and the only holiday when I decorate my house. [...]
