    MY Deployment Story

    January 26, 2010 /

    Forewarning:  I know I have some MOPS friends that read the blog.  THANK YOU!  But if you haven’t been to your MOPS meeting yet I kind of spell out my ‘talk’.  You might not want to read this if you don’t want to see it all spelled out before hand 🙂  (Our church is fortunate to have three chapters of MOPS … I spoke for the first chapter and have two more to go.) I DID IT!  I was nervous … I worked over the course of the weekend (with some help from my mom, a retired Air Force wife) to get the words right … I got up a…

    The Aircraft Carrier, USS Carl Vinson is off Haiti – DoD Roundtable

    January 23, 2010 /

    During this afternoon’s DoD Blogger’s Roundtable U.S. Navy Capt. Bruce H. Lindsey, commanding officer, USS Carl Vinson explained the aircraft carrier’s pivotal role for operations in support of Operation Unified Response (Haiti). A great opportunity to talk to the Captain while he was directing operations on the carrier located in Port-au-Prince bay area. I am going to start off with a great story of technology and with a twist that will touch the hearts and souls of America. I asked the Captain to relay something to America that would in fact touch our hearts and he said he had a great one. A group in Grand Rapids, Michigan emailed the…

    Shakin’ in my boots

    January 22, 2010 /

    Monday I will step out of my comfort zone. In a big way! I don’t do a lot public speaking. Strike that. I don’t do public speaking. But when I was called by an acquaintance earlier this Fall and asked to speak at a MOPS meeting about being a military-wife & mom how could I say no? I’m honored that this group of gals not only thought of ME to speak but that they want to hear about the “plight” of military-wives at all. The meeting will start off with the usual coffee, breakfast and fellowship with fellow moms of preschoolers, toddlers and babies. Fellowship with adults: Something ALL moms…

    Thankful Thursday: Sunny-Yellow Flowers

    January 21, 2010 /

    I am thankful for bright yellow-sunny flowers in the dead of winter; flowers from my wonderful husband for no apparent reason.  Funny, he came home for a little while yesterday during lunch and was just a little-snippy.  Not sure what was bothering him but his answers to my questions were short.  His patience was very lacking. So what did I do in turn?  I didn’t nag him.  I didn’t get my undies-in-a-bunch.  I just let it go.  (I’m convinced that he sometimes gets a waft of my pregnancy-hormones … and we all know what they can do to us girls … well the mood-swing can be ten times worse for the…

    From Holiday Bliss to This!

    January 19, 2010 /

    There are a few events that bring families together. By that I am thinking the aunts, uncles, cousins, in laws and out laws. Holidays are my first thought. Plenty of food, drink, gaiety, laughter, a touch of sibling rivalry, bouts of testosterone surges, and wafts of whimsical play. Weddings are up there on the chart of reasons to share time outside of the house; again, most of the above interactions occur. Funerals pull the heart strings of loved ones to the center of one’s grief but usually that center is showered with memories, joy in the idea of the deceased being pain-free, hope of eternal rest for the loved one.…
