A little Backstory: I live with my husband, who I have been married to for 3.5 years and our two precious little girls, E & O.  I work full time as a nurse and my husband is an officer in the Army National Guard.  We are a military family - and a new one at that.

Why we are here?: Our story is a unique one.  As long as I have known my husband he has wanted to be in the Army, but it never panned out.  We spent our college years about, reconnected, and were instantly in love. We married eight months later and welcomed our first baby girl three months later.  We talked on and off over the next year or so about his future in the military.  He wanted to fight for the things he believed in.  He wanted to back what he spoke about with action.  We made the decision as a family for him to join the national guard.  Two weeks later we found out little O was on the way.  He left in January for basic training she arrived in February and he came home in March.  The rest, is history.

Where exactly are we?: Today he left for five months of training in Arizona.  We are here at the home house, loving him more than ever.  

This is our story.  It is insight into our lives and into the lives of so many military families.  It is also a story filled with humor and warmth.  There are stories of the smoke signal that told the world E was on her way, or the inevitably challenging relationship any new bride faces with her in-laws, and of course, as always, E & O are the stars of the endearing little show.  Once I find a segway, I will unload a list of stories that sometimes I can't believe.
