January 2019

The Happenings of January 2019 New Year’s Eve/Day has always been my favorite holiday. I love everything about it — reminiscing over the past year, wondering where we’ll be a year from now, and dreaming up goals and plans for the coming months. While the goals may or may not be accomplished, a new year always brings about fresh motivation… Read More

2018 In Review

2018 In Review

Reflecting on 2018, it’s harder to see change in our lives than it was in the past few years.

A Change of Plans

I’ve been hesitant to share updates on what’s coming next in our military journey because of how uncertain these things are. But now that we actually have orders in hand, I guess it’s as good a time as any to spill the beans! Since Summer 2015, Curtis has been going through the Navy’s training pipeline.
