Wow. It has been entirely too long since I have taken the time to sit down and craft a blog post. Life happens, man. Things have been so busy for me over the last 8 months that I just haven't had taken the time to sit down and put words on paper - or on… Continue reading The Fire Inside You

R.E.S.T.
About a week & a half ago, someone I know posted on her Facebook about float therapy. She had recently completed a session & was offering a coupon code to her loyal (local) followers. She raved about how float therapy made her feel like she was "walking on clouds". She also said it was helpful… Continue reading R.E.S.T.
Love Your Hair
Over the last several years I have had some serious hair issues. I think it all started when I deployed to Afghanistan in 2014. Although we had functioning water that was hot (thank goodness!), it wasn't good, quality water that my hair craved. It was hard water which caused my hair to be extremely dry… Continue reading Love Your Hair
Auld Lang Syne
I was just going through my memories on Facebook and I came across this photo. This picture was taken in October 2014 when I got home from Afghanistan. I had been gone for over six months and my Uncle Mike was one of the first people (along with my mom, dad, Sam, Kelsey, and Noah)… Continue reading Auld Lang Syne
Half Marathon #2
It has been just over three weeks since I ran my second half marathon. This year, my husband and I decided to be brave and conquer a 10k the day before our half marathon. I don't know if that was brave or dumb. Back in February, when I was deployed, I signed both of us… Continue reading Half Marathon #2
Gun Laws
April 20, 1999. Does that date mean anything to you? If it doesn't resonate right away, let me remind you. That is the date that Dylan Klebold & Eric Harris of Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado made a heinous decision to enter their high school and commit mass murder on twelve students and one… Continue reading Gun Laws
Silver Linings
Let's all agree that it has been entirely too long since I have written a blog. I really need to be better about sitting down and getting it all out. I do love writing, but sometimes time gets away from me. Here we go. Yesterday I made it pretty clear that I had a crappy… Continue reading Silver Linings
USO Tour Breakfast
In my life, I have had many days where I thought it was one of the best days of my life. I really believe that people can have an undetermined number of “best days of their lives”. It really just depends on what the situation is and what is going on. Most people would list… Continue reading USO Tour Breakfast
Universal Language
Over the course of the last three weeks, a few work friends and I have made it our thing to have schwarma and labneh for dinner on Friday nights. The first time we did it, we called and the place delivered it to the front gate where we went and met them. Last week we… Continue reading Universal Language
Deployment Chronicles Pt Dos
I have a serious problem with people today. I am about 42 days into this deployment and today was the first day that I have truly been irritated by a multitude of people. It is never easy going into a new team, no matter where you go. New bases are typically easier though because the… Continue reading Deployment Chronicles Pt Dos
