Ok, I know it has been a while for the follow up on our trip, but traveling seems to get us sick…Cough Cough ….Cough it has been around for 2 weeks now. Well the baby did extremely well on the plane rides ( 4 total for the trip). He slept through takeoff and landing on [...]

Retirement
Posted by JessM on January 18th, 2012
There are a few phrases that will leave a spouse utterly speechless, the one for our current situation: “They put me in for the Med Board”. *GULP* 12 years in the Infantry, 4 deployments (the last one brought him home early due to injury), 3 PCS moves, countless field rotations and schools, now staring down [...]
Where are you from?
Posted by StephanieL on January 11th, 2012
In my last post I mentioned that my husband was a military brat and has friends and family everywhere. I was never a military savvy person before I met my husband…I guess what you would call that typical mere civilian. I recently came across this this article that someone posted on FB. http://blogcritics.org/culture/article/what-military-children-wont-tell-you/ So……After reading [...]
Will I be ” that” person on the plane with a baby?
Posted by StephanieL on January 11th, 2012
My little man’s 1st birthday is coming soon. The husband and I discussed Birthday party ideas. Like..do we even have one since we haven’t met that many people here yet to invite and for that matter, that have kids young enough. Then we discussed flying to my home town. We would have discussed going to [...]
Just Do It
Posted by JessM on January 11th, 2012
Today I was asked for a compilation of all my volunteer work I’ve done throughout the year. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I really dedicated 2011 to ‘ME’. Now hold on to your flapping jaws for a minute before everyone goes nuts on this. What I mean is, I still [...]
Vote For Military town MINOT, ND
Posted by StephanieL on January 3rd, 2012
I would like to share Reader’s Digest’s Website and ask if you could take a minute to VOTE for this Very Military Friendly town. This town is pretty much made up of military folk past and present. The Town’s welcoming sign reads ” Home of Minot AFB.” This Town was devastated by the 2011 Souris [...]

It’s 2012. Holy cow, it’s really 2012!! The years seem to be rushing by the older I get. So, how was your New Year’s? Did you spend it with friends and/or family? Did you party the night away or quietly watch the ball drop from the comfort of your living room? We brought the new [...]

Another year has come and is about to be gone. Something we call a memory. What I will remember about this year. In January, I was 9 months pregnant and living in New Jersey. On February 1st I brought my beautiful baby boy into this world. My husband was deployed in Afghanistan at the time, [...]
Merry Christmas!!
Posted by Mandi on December 27th, 2011
As a military family we are well acquainted with the spending the holiday seasons apart. Either away from each other or away from our extended families, it is never easy to be apart from your loved ones. The past several years have been some of the hardest of my married life thus far and because [...]
Christmas Joys
Posted by Angela on December 27th, 2011
Christmas brings many joys for my family. And this year was no different at all! It all started for my family the weekend before Christmas. I live in Vegas, and my family is in Ohio. On Saturday I got a call from my sister while I was at the kids Christmas party for my husbands [...]
