A few weeks ago I kept thinking to myself, "Man, our life is kind of boring. Nothing big or exciting is going on. It is just the two of us. What are we doing? Can we be doing something or living a life that is more exciting and full?" But... then I realized something. Growing…
The thing about Military Spouses, let me tell you.... They. Are. AMAZING! Seriously. Every single military wife/spouse I have met is such an incredible person and friend to have.

This past weekend, Brendan and I celebrated the Marine Corps 241st birthday at the birthday ball, and also Veterans day the very next day. We spent a whole weekend away celebrating, and we were actually able to spend a WHOLE day together doing things all day long. That hasn't happened in a long time. I…
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or really any social media site, all of them show the best side of our lives. It can be good or bad.
