  • Turning 30!

    I made it to the Big 3-0! Strange. Thirty used to seem so old. I’m surprised at how young it really is, lol. 🙂 I woke up this morning feeling quite normal. Looked in the mirror, nothing had changed…yet I guess. I smiled, and thanked God for another day, and…

  • A Fighting Faith Video Blog: Justified War from a Christian’s Perspective

    There was a time in my life when I thought being a Christian, and a soldier seemed like an oxymoron.  It was hard to mesh the idea of taking a life in a war situation, and still be a Christian. Yes, I know there are many occasions when God mandated war…

  • First World Problems…I got too many!

    http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/gXCsRlpbqPM&source=uds Complaining. Yes, I’ve done my share of it.  The lady at Starbucks put sugar in my coffee when I specifically asked for NO SUGAR! My neighbor’s yard looks way better than my lawn. Ugh. Birthing two children sucked the calcium from my teeth, and now I have to use…

  • Video Blog! Unmet Expectations

    Unmet Expectations? Me?  I didn’t know I had them…until they went unmet. In fact, I can’t recall ever being aware of what my expectations were for specific circumstances/people etc. It’s not like I  sat down and listed them out…until now, lol. So where did my expectations come from, and which…

  • Army Wife Tips

    As a young new Army Wife, I had many things to learn. Ten years in the saddle, and I’m still learning. None of my family members, to my knowledge, had much experience regarding military things, let alone the military lifestyle. Still, the prospect of traveling to new places with my…

  • Welcome Home Ceremony! Oh YES We waived our flags!

    Us, pushing play on our lives together again! 🙂 HOME AT LAST! Ten Months, 12 Days since I last kissed my Hunky Hunk of Love’n Husband (he loves that name, lol).  Not our longest deployment, but long enough! Hours of waiting in an airplane hanger, temperatures that made the equator…

  • I’ve Been Waiting: When I Finally Make it Home Video

    The wait is almost over! The next time I post it will be pictures of our family REUNITED! In the meantime, enjoy the video and song by Mercy Me. LOVE it!!  http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/EJQdr4Bgql0&source=uds

  • Mealtime Moments: Dinner Conversations & FREE Meal Plan!

    Most of my favorite memories revolve moments that have included good food, good conversation, and lots of laughter.  This is what we do with our food! Family cookouts, and get-togethers. Sunday lunches at Granny’s house. Romantic evenings with my Honey. Dinner around our table. There’s something special about gathering together…

  • Stronger Than We Think: Encouragment for Moms

    “I don’t know how you all do it.” Many civilian women/moms say to me. “I could never be without my husband for that long. I’d go insane.”  Ha! What makes them think I’m not insane? There are days I teeter on the edge of insanity. I’m sure my kids would…

  • Celebrating Ten Years of Marriage: Now & Then

    Happy Anniversary Stephen Conway. I’d marry you all over June 28, 2003 again. This wasn’t how I thought we’d spend our ten year anniversary. Overseas, somewhere tropical, is what I had  in mind. Guess I should have been more specific, lol. You’re overseas, probably closer to a beach than I…
