Milestones

Quiet literally. We have had our car going on three years. It’s an 08 we bought in California with 39,ooo miles on it in 2010. And it finally happened.  We were driving along I-95 on our way back from my husbands anniversary gift (I got him tickets to see The XX in Jacksonville, FL) I was asleep … Continue reading

The year (2012) in review

This has been a busy year. So busy, in fact, that I haven’t written our yearly update letter or sent out holiday cards. On Christmas Day we said “Happy 2nd Birthday” to our beautiful but goofy little Chloe.

Expectations of Deployment

Now that we’ve had our homecoming, a huge weight is lifted and we can reflect on the past number of months.   In the beginning of deployment, I, along with the other gals of hearts apart, made a “dream board” based on what we wanted to accomplish during the deployment. My board was as follows: … Continue reading
