I haven’t done a very good job this year of writing as much as I wanted to. Every month in my bullet journal one of my goals is to write more/post more. I ...

The first time I saw the Sailor in a uniform changed my life. We weren't even dating, he had just come back from his first deployment, and we were hanging ou...

The Sailor and I got married what many would call "old" in the military community. We didn't date in high school, he didn't join right after graduation, and...

I recently got an email from a woman whose husband had just enlisted in the Navy. She said that she enjoyed reading my blog (hooray!) and wanted to know if ...

I was very excited when my husband decided to reenlist for shore duty, mostly because that meant NO DEPLOYMENTS. He would be tied for three years to a comma...

Homecoming. Not the one from high school where your football team played against the rival team and won big and then you went to a super awesome dance in yo...

So a few months ago, the Sailor and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary! Which is crazy! It feels so short, but also like the appropriate amount of ...

Hey guys! I know it seems like I fell of a cliff and let me tell you, life has been pretty crazy. The Sailor and I bought a town home in May that I am in l...

I’m sure you’re reading all of this and saying, you married a man in the military, you should know you’re going to be around guns! And yeah

Everyone's list may be different, but here's what has helped me get through this lifestyle ;) 1. Wine – for all the things you cannot change. 2. Chocolate - ...

I’ve said this before and I will say it again: I hate change. Then you’ll say, what the hell woman, you married a man whose career is going to create a worl...

Sending things to your loved one can be daunting. The first time I did this, I was so flustered and it took someone helping me at the post office to even fi...

Hey guys! I know I've been super slack about posting, apparently November is just as busy as October was so far >.< Anyway, as a little "throwback Thursday...

Oh my goodness, I accidentally took a couple week hiatus! October ended up being a pretty busy month, involving the Sailor's birthday, a friend's wedding, a...

For a long time when the Sailor and I first started dating, I didn’t really feel official. Like, I was dating a guy, who happened to be in the Navy. I didn...

So the other week, the Sailor had duty on Friday, and I thought I could be a cool wife and come by and see him after I got off work. I told him the idea (he...

As a general rule, I am a person who hates change. I like planning and schedules and routines and things to look forward to every day and every week. When ...

So I seem to have gotten my first real meeting with Murphy’s Law the first day of the Sailor’s month long underway. Granted, some of the tasks that I needed...
