Who Knew?

Hello everyone! I wasnt able to post anything last week – it was filled with errands, doctor appointments, and a huge to-do list at home. One of them was: carving pumpkins! It was my first time doing it (another task usually done by my husband) and who knew – I loved it! I had so much [...]

PS: Missing You On My Birthday (A Poem)

A candle is lit as I’m surrounded by love Each one singing the traditional song To wish me happiness and wealth in the new year to come   I tearfully think of the year that has passed And remember every moment that was oh so sad The memories escape me of happiness and cheer As [...]

PS: Finally added the Military Links page!

Military Links I have been working on putting together a links page on my blog to websites relating to the military that I myself have found useful, resourceful, and informative.

Our Story

I was recently contacted by Dr. Vance Hardisty, an author finalizing his upcoming book “How to Keep Romance Alive While Deployed”. He came across my blog and asked me to share my story of deployment to add to his book. I figured since I took time to write it – I would go ahead and [...]
