As most of you know, I have recently had some exciting news in the writing department. I was given the opportunity to write monthly articles for "Wives in Bloom" (an online magazine) and also the website http://www.faithdeployed.com/ . I also was asked to join "The Veteran's Day Blog Tour 2010", which will be giving me lots of exposure! I am so excited for all these new doors that have opened for me! Writing has always been one of those things for me... to help clear me head, share my feelings, document my journeys. I never thought I would be sharing my experiences with an audience bigger than me! I am looking forward to sharing my words with all my followers. Who knows where this yellow brick road may take us!
Another HUGE door that opened for me is friendships. I have truly met my match here in Korea. Who would have ever thought distance would bring people together. Living the military lifestyle makes for different relationships and friendships. You learn to go with the flow and love while you can! I am looking forward to the bittersweet two years this foreign country has to offer me. Distance is beginning to get a little harder, but I am thankful for everyday that i get to spend here in this exotic land I call home.
The count down begins today... only 21 more days until all our HHG (household goods) get here. I can NOT wait to make this empty apartment feel like a home! Although it feels like home already, having out stuff from the states will only make it 10 times better.
The Fall semester is approaching pretty fast. Hopefully I will have the dedication and willpower to prioritize my time better than I have in the past. Buying textbooks is the worst part... $300 later, I am prepared for all my academic studies. For a moment there, I thought I was going to take a break... but I finally decided that would only hurt me in the long run. Fast pace is what I need to succeed and defiantly what I am comfortable with.
Life is exactly how I want it to be. God has never left me alone on this journey, and that I can't be more grateful. He has always showed me the way, in one way or another.
Life after us. This is my everyday life as a tattooed momma of 3, most favorite daughter, craziest sister, an aunt 10 times, and a dreamer… I am a memory hoarder, volunteer, impatient believer, and a beer drinker. My favorite thing to do is sleep. We live in a tiny home, we eat McDonald’s and I dream of life without folding laundry. Almost divorced. Follow me on this new journey after us... and finding myself, again.

Doors Keep Opening Up
Trying to understand my place in this life. Knowing it's my temporary home makes me rethink the way I have treated some people. I try to have a heart of gold, but at the same time I have an inner struggle of peace. I am determined to change the world. Cupcakes with beer.... the struggle is real.
