Hello folks.
Let me introduce myself to you and tell you a little about myself for those that don't already know me.
Im 30 years old and for the past 11 I was an Active duty Army soldier. However, last April I got out of the Army to become a full time mom. So I went from Army Life to Army wife. My husband has been in the Army for 7 years now and he is a black hawk crew cheif. We met in Iraq in 2003 and then again in 2008, where we started dating and fell in love. I returned from Iraq in September and he December.
We got married December 20th. And for the next 5 months would alternate visits to each other (I was stationed in Washington and he in Kansas). Oh, I also forgot to mention that I got pregnant shortly after we got married. (that was the plan). In May 2009, I moved my cat, my 4 year old daughter and myself down to Kansas, to begin my life as an Army wife.
So far, I've found out that Im quite an accomplished baker and cook with my free time not to mentioned a pretty good mom. I love to cook and bake for all my husbands soldiers and they seem to love it as well.
I gave birth to our daughter on September 18th, 2009. and have been watching her grow like a weed ever since. My husband and I had our big wedding on November 8th for our whole families and friends to be there.
Not too long after that we decided that when my husband deploys in March of this year, I will move to Hutchinson, KS to be closer to his family. I already have a house rented and we have started moving things in.
Im also very involved with Soldiers Angels A program that helped me out while I was deployed and now Im paying it forward! Im a Letter Writing Team leader and an Angel to 3 deployed soldiers. (I'll explain this all more in upcoming blogs)
I have many plans and ideas for my year while Zach (my husband is deployed). I'll start a list of them all on here and keep you updated to changes or events. Not to mention milestones that I or my daughters reach!
My goal is to blog at least once a week until he leaves then every day while he is gone. This is a WHOLE new undertaking since I only know the "deployed soldier" side of deployments and have never done the whole "wife" of a soldier so far.
I thank you for taking the time to follow my journey from Army Life to Army wife.
Until the next time..............
