God Works in Wonderful, Mysterious Ways

It has been a wild week for me - so many exciting events to process, so many emotions! ;) Every day just keeps getting better and better. Yesterday my beautiful niece was born, and I love her already! Today I find out that Chris is getting new orders cut and we are moving! This is the news we have been waiting for. I feel so excited, relieved almost, to get this ball rolling! We've only been talking about it for over a year now. We will be moving in 30-60 days, which I realize is very soon. But it is good news to me because it validates all the tough decisions that Chris and I have made in this past year. We did not anticipate living apart from each other for so long, and not having a job was starting to worry me. My brain has not been able to slow down lately, so an upcoming move gives me something to focus on! I think I will become a lot more productive and I'm sure I will soon be complaining about how I just need more time to get it all done. There are still a lot of unknowns in this situation, so let me remind you of what we do know:

  • Chris is currently at Ft. Benning, GA.
  • We are moving to Ft. Campbell, KY.
  • Ft. Campbell is located on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee.
  • Neighboring cities are Oak Grove, KY and Hopkinsville, KY and Clarksville, TN.
  • Ft. Campbell is about 45 minutes northwest of Nashville.
  • We will live about 7 hours from Kansas City, so driving home for visits is doable.
  • The cats are going to hate every minute of this move.
I will keep you all updated!!

A Pregnant Woman's Guide to Maternity Clothes

Being pregnant with my first child, I had zero experience maternity clothes shopping. I had no idea what sizes I would need nor what products would work for me. Given that every body type is so different, and each pregnancy is so different, this post will simply serve as a guide and just a place to start. Ultimately, you will have to make some decisions yourself on what will work best for you. I just thought I'd share what I have learned in this first pregnancy. When Should I Start Buying Maternity Clothes? To me, this question has a simple and easy answer. NOW. (or, as soon as you find out you are pregnant.) Here's why: CLEARANCE . Take advantage of that clearance rack! If you buy as soon as you find out you are pregnant, the clothes on clearance are going to be the right season for when you are in your third trimester. I did a little shopping in the first trimester (early winter) and I got great summer tanks and maxi dresses for a ...

The Reality of Being A New Mom

This is gonna be a great post - I can feel it already. All done during middle of the night feedings while barely conscious, typing with one hand via my app on my phone.  I hope you will accept my misspellings, grammatical errors, and lack of formatting in this post.  Because honestly, I'm so sleep deprived that I don't really care about much these days! I thought I googled a lot of things before becoming a new mommy. Now I think I look up at least one or two things each day, anything from "low-grade fevers during c section recoveries" to "how to survive the newborn stage". What's funny about that last one is that I've asked my mommy friends when this uber stressful stage gets better, and none of them can remember!! They literally don't recall how hard the first several weeks are. It's like it vanished from their brain.  On one hand, it makes sense because half the time I'm so tired I really don't remember things fr...

Turkey Burgers with Peach Avocado Salsa

The other day I bought 4 pounds of peaches from Sam's Club. I had heard that they were always really good, so with our new Sam's membership, I decided to pick some up. They look amazing from the outside, large, beautifully colored. I sliced one up and took a bite. I was expecting to have juice running down my fingers or my face or something. Nope. They were virtually juice-less .The texture was fine, but without the juice, there was no way I could eat them plain. I'd never been so disappointed by a peach before. So what to do with 4 pounds of peaches? I decided that I would make a peach salsa. I've had mango salsa before, and it was a nice combination of sweet and spicy. Salsa would be a perfect way to disguise the fact that the peaches I had were missing their natural juiciness. Peach salsa, for whatever reason, made me think of turkey burgers. It's my new favorite thing to order at restaurants. I had a turkey burger to die for at The Cheesecake Factory off t...
