a little Thanksgiving inspiration for you

I thought about writing about what I’m thankful for or a little thanksgiving message for all of you – and then – life intervened and I thought that I would rather write something a little inspiring that would help us all see the rainbow at the end of the storm.
I’m sure most of you know [...]

all good things come to an end

No, we’re not leaving recruiting duty – yet.
But a chapter in my life, my husband’s life, and my families life - ended today. For those of you that read my biography, you know that we had two little girls who we were raising for another soldier during his deployment. All in all the girls were with us [...]

something for the soldiers

I found this on a board I belong to, www.refundcents.com, and thought I would share it with you all. If you’d like to take a minute out when doing your Christmas cards and send a card, or two, to a soldier overseas, you can do so through one of these two programs.
The address to send [...]

Mrs Army Recruiter’s Wife Pageant 2009

I just wanted you all to know that this is still a go – I will be posting all the information after Thanksgiving. I’m just tying up all the loose ends before I post everything. I’m still figuring out what site to use to host it as far as pics and info – I will [...]

texas

There was a period in my dad’s career that was known then and now as the “Dark Ages” and the commander was known as “The Dark One” (his soul was about as black as the tar on the bottom of the devil’s feet). It was a dark time in my father’s career – and it [...]

ahhhh books

How do I manage to have about five boxes – that I found – chalked full of BOOKS?? Granted – I kept most of my college textbooks because I either paid a lot of $$ for them or I really liked them. Then there’s my books from teaching and the books my husband has for [...]

first month in review

Well, it’s been a while since I had anything recruiting duty related so I decided to do a review of our first month here in recruiting duty.
Getting to your recruiting station:
Check your AKO often, even while en route to your recruiting duty station. Things change – and you could have every intention of going to [...]

wisdom teeth out

Well, we’re home. We went down to my aunt’s house the night before my husband was to have his wisdom teeth out to make getting to Camp Pendleton easier – thank goodness we did – it made it worlds easier on us. He went in, and a little over an hour later he was done. [...]

hubby getting his wisdom teeth out tommorrow

Well, I may be absent from the internet for a day or two. We are heading to the Marine base so my dear husband can get his wisdom teeth out before he gets too far into recruiting duty. He’s having them surgically removed – which means cutting the gums open and breaking the tooth into [...]

frg meetings

Well, I’m a little behind on this post – but I went to my first FRG meeting this past Thursday. It was…hmmm…interesting. The FRG meeting was done via teleconferencing. We went to my husband’s station to listen to the FRG meeting. Granted, the battalion is only about 10min. from our house, but I don’t think [...]
