Blogger Meetup!

Yesterday I was so excited to finally meetup with a longtime blogger friend, Jaci from Me and My SoldierMan. She invited me to a luncheon for the Fort Bliss Officer and Civilian Spouse Association (which I am now a member off, woo!). I had a great time hanging out with her and meeting some other ladies. We snapped this picture before we left:


Before I met up with Jaci, I went to the newcomer's brief with Kyle. I got to see a wonderful friend from Bragg (she and her husband just pcs'd here as well), so nice to see a familiar face in a new and unfamiliar place. It was great to meet a few people from his new unit. Everyone here is so incredibly nice and relaxed, definitely a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of Bragg. 

I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend!

  3. Wow! This is great! Your outfit is too cute. It is nice to see familiar faces at a new duty station. I remember after an overseas tour and moving back to FL, I ran into SO many of my former classmates in the area. it was nice and it also looked like FL was the next place everyone from Sicily PCS'd too.

  4. I love Jaci's blog too! That's so cool that you got to meet up. I'm hoping to meet with Jenn from Life with the Lieutenant and Sarah from Dandelions & Daffodils soon since they're stationed really close to my college.

    Also, I'm wondering the same thing that Jenn is... IS there a lady in the background with a towel on her head?!

  5. Hello Jen,

    We went to see my husband's father and had a pleasant visit with him. After retuning home, he died the very next day. He lived a blessed and long life, so even thought there is grief, we have so much for which to give the Lord thanks. I am so thankful we were able to see him.

    It is great to see that you are happy where you are.
