I'm a military wife, a teenagers mom, daughter, sister and friend. I used to be a dental assistant, a preschool teacher, a kindergarten paraprofessional, Target team member, Burger King cashier...oh wait that one is going way to far back to even matter.

These days I am busy being a mom and wife, I may go back out into the work force and I may not. Lord knows there are plenty of recipes I haven't made yet and on a good week I could easily redecorate every other room in the house...at least once. I keep busy enough and when I am not busy I am on Facebook catching up with friends all over the world, shopping with a girlfriend or refurbishing my latest thrift store find.

I LOVE movies, box office hits and old black and white ones on tv. My favorite afternoon would be spent in a thrift store, on the beach or walking thru the English forests with my hubby on one hand and my camera in the other. I love the rain and snow and some earth cracking thunder. I think of my Dad is my best bud and my Mom one of the prettiest women I have ever known.

I'd say generally speaking I am a pretty happy person. I'm very content with where I am in my life and the people in it with me. I used to blog ALL the time and even had 4 blogs going at one time. I've given most of them up when life got in the way. Moving from one state to the next or as the case now, another country. Going back to work from time to time as well just left me with less time and the number one reason I gave most of them up is AOL shut down their blogging community. That was hard. I am now trying to get back into it and I do still have a lot to say...I hope you'll stick around and come back often.

For our Gabby girl...a Military Brat.

I am A Military Brat

My hometown is nowhere, my friends are everywhere.
I grew up with the knowledge that home is where the heart is and the family...

Mobility is my way of life. Some would wonder about roots, yet they are as deep and strong as the mighty oak. I sink them in quickly, absorbing all an area offers and hopefully, giving enrichment in return.

Travel has taught me to be open. Shaking hands with the universe, I find brotherhood in all men. Farewells are never easy. Yet, even in sorrow comes strength and ability to face tomorrow with anticipation...if when we leave one place, I feel that half my world is left behind. I also know that the other half is waiting to be met.

Friendships are formed in hours and kept for decades. I will never grow up with someone, but I will mature with many. Be it inevitable that paths part, there is constant hope that they will meet again.

Love of country, respect and pride fill my being when Old Glory passes in review. When I stand to honor that flag, so also do I stand in honor of all soliders, and most especially, to the parents whose life created mine. Because of this, I have shared in the rich heritage of Military life.
