Isaac’s Live Lip-Dub Proposal
What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow.
~Nathaniel Hawthorne
Have you seen this yet? What an amazingly sweet, awesome wedding proposal. Especially to have so many friends and loved ones in on it as well!
Still living!
My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!
~Thomas Jefferson
I’m still here. Things have been pretty crazy around here with Huzzy home, my full-time job, the Reserves, and another job that’s four hours a week on Sundays. Not only is Huzzy home, but he’s on 30 days leave, which means he’s here when I wake up, when I come home from work, on weekends… ALL. THE. TIME.
We have spent something like 66% of our marriage and he just got back from a patrol (deployment) so it’s very odd to have him here whenever I turn around. He’s leaving tomorrow to go visit his brother for a week (I can’t go because I don’t have the time at my new job) and I’m ready to have him go. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll miss him and will be excited for him to come back, but I need a break to ease back into this. Normally when he comes back, he works for a month or so and then gets a week or two off before going back to work (which generally gave me a few hours a day to myself). Going from nothing to full-throttle is tough. I know my MilSpouses understand.
When he comes back, he’ll have just a few more days off before starting his new job at the waterfront. Yay, shore duty!

Children are a great comfort in your old age – and they help you reach it faster, too.

I love learning more about my fellow MilSpouse bloggers. So I created a weekly meme, which has now morphed into a monthly meme. This happens the first Friday of every month. To do this, I’ll post a list of questions the day before (on Thursday so you can have your blog ready on Friday). Come back here on Friday (like today!) and enter your blog post into Mr. Linky below so others know who else participated and we can all visit other blogs. Please leave a comment too! And please feel free to use the button above!
1. What’s one thing in the past month you would have changed?
Hmmm… I don’t think I would have changed one darn thing last month. It was a pretty awesome month. Especially since Huzzy came home.
2. What was your favorite thing that happened in April?
Huzzy came home from his last patrol for three years!
3. What are your plans for Memorial Day?
I have no clue yet, but Huzzy has plans for us!
4. Have you ever traveled Space A? If yes, where… if no, would you ever try it?
No, we haven’t… but I’d love to. In fact, I’d love to just walk up to the counter and go wherever we could go. I’m not normally that spontaneous, but I think it’d be awesome.
5. What are you looking forward to in May?
Hmm… Huzzy on leave all month. Enjoying Huzzy being home. Getting some stuff done in our house… hopefully new floors!

Month of the Military Child – The Best Parts of Being a Military Child
The older I grow the more earnestly I feel that the few joys of childhood are the best that life has to give.
~Ellen Glasgow
April is Month of the Military Child. Since Huzzy and I don’t have children, I put out a call for guest bloggers to help out. I originally wanted to do a guest blogger every Monday, but I had so many fantastic responses that you’ll see a guest blogger every Monday and Thursday!
My final guest blogger is Julie from Soldier’s Wife, Crazy Life. Julie is a 30-something Army Wife and Mom of 3 little boys living in Tennessee. She loves blogging, photography and reading lots and lots of books.

There are some different things that Military children have to go through. Deployments, lots of time away from Mom or Dad, moving a lot, having to say goodbye to friends and not growing up near extended family. However I think there are some really great things about growing up as a Military Child.
