Coffee Pancakes!


Coffee Pancakes!
Ok heres my attempt at typical wife-ness…and it turned out AWESOME.
Just use brewed coffee (the stronger the better:) instead of water to put with your pancake mix.
Enjoy!

Seize the Carp


starting with this underway- while my husband is out to sea, i am making a vow to do one thing i have never done before…every day. i will post proof, hopefully with pictures.
while i may not have chosen my circumstances in life, i believe we are called to make the best of what we are given. 
my husband has devoted his life to the safety of millions…his sacrifice inspires me to be better, not miserable. i cant promise i will feel that way every day, but i hope to be reminded of my goals and keep in mind how blessed i am to have him.
I refuse to not take advantage of every day, with or without him. because at the end of the day, i want him to do the same.

finally did it


well, ive been wanting to start a blog for some time now, and i guess i finally did it. my intentions originally were to create thought-provoking posts on a regular basis…then reality set in. not sure how often, if at all, i will keep up with this, but i will try. my goals?
cause others to think.
tell about my adventures as a navy wife.
share valuable information.
check my pride at the keyboard, and realize im doing this for “me,” to look back on in 10 years and cherish the moments.
hopefully i can accomplish these and more. here we go….
