My Husband, the “Badass”
When it comes to military life, and particularly huge stories like the death of Osama Bin Laden, my civilian friends are infinitely inquisitive. They want to get the “inside story” and they assume I have it. The problem, of course, is that...

A Change in the Meaning
Once upon a time, when I did not know anyone in the military, had not experienced deployment and had not witnessed the meaning of sacrifice, Memorial Day was a time for parties, a few hours of body surfing in the Pacific and a huge fruit salad. Since...

Happy MilSpouse Appreciation Day!
I’ve done a few posts over the last few weeks talking about how we can celebrate the MilSpouses around us. While I still think that’s important, let’s be honest – it doesn’t hurt to celebrate ourselves a little bit, too. Since the President went to the...

It’s Toast
Our poor daughter has been sick today. Our conversation went like this: Sarah: I can’t remember, what does the T stand for in B.R.A.T.? Husband: What? Sarah: The T. You know, bananas, rice, applesauce…what? What’s the T? Husband: (looking...

Last Minute PCS Jitters
Either I’m horribly unorganized or good under pressure. I prefer to believe the latter but that’s probably just self-delusion on my part. We’re PCS’ing overseas this summer. We’re shipping our vehicle on Monday. So what did I spend the last week doing...

Left Behind
My life has been altered in the last few months. Besides purchasing a house and moving (without the Navy’s help!), my father-in-law passed away five weeks ago. Losing a parent is something you don’t expect to happen until you are well into the mid-life...
