He came home last week and it was so good to have him back. With our vacation being just one week away, we were beyond excited and filled with anticipation. We waited as long as possible to buy the concert tickets but finally did Wednesday. With the concert and our getaway being that weekend, we …
Officially Off Birth Control
Had my doctors appointment last week and was given the green light to stop my birth control! Today is my first day officially off. I'm interested, excited and just a bit nervous to learn my body off birth control. It definitely will be a learning experience but one well worth it. Strangely enough, the timing …
Hello Vacation!… Maybe
I can't even begin to tell you how many vacations, cruises and getaways we have planned... then had to cancel. Its been over two years since our last vacation! Most of the cancellations were due to surprise trainings to last minute deployments. However, some had to be cancelled/postponed due to my work schedule. BUT I …
We Have A Date
So my husband left a few days ago for some training. He'll be gone for the next few weeks. As you know, we have seriously been discussing starting a family. We left it at "just sometime this year" and that was exciting enough. But him leaving for training prompted us to discuss it deeper and …
We Moved!
No, it was not a PCS. This move was voluntary and a bit... strategic 😉 We moved from our small, 2nd story apartment to a house! Our lease wasn't supposed to be up until the end of April. Unfortunately my husband was scheduled to be away at training all of April and I was not about …
Baby Fever
I think for the first time ever, I have the beginning stages of... Baby Fever! Yup I said it! My husband has been ready since about the 3rd week of marriage and he's  been pretty open about it. However, he has patiently and graciously waited for me to get there as well. We both had …
Thanks for Sticking Around!
My husband being home has been the biggest blessing. Its been 8 months since his deployment and I'm still just as grateful for to be in his arms as the day he got home. He teases me that I'm more needy/clingy/cuddlely (is that even a word?!) than I was when we were dating and I blame …
Holiday Anxiety
While most are excited for the holidays, I'm scared. Last year we were so sure that we would get to spend them together. Surely they wouldn't deploy him just 8 weeks after PCS'ing... Thats what we thought at least. He ended up receiving ordered Thanksgiving week and deployed the following week. It was just a …
One Year Ago
This week makes one year. One year since we left Georgia. One year since we last saw our families. One year since we moved into this little house of our. One year since we made Texas home. This is the first time we have had the pleasure of calling somewhere home for more than a …
Anniversary Weekend
Since being married, we have only been on two vacations. The first was our honeymoon and the second was just a few months after that. He was away at AIT for our 1st anniversary last year. We unfortunately did not get to spend it together but we made the best of it and celebrated a few …
