Time for Another Deployment

Posted in Family, and Military Life

On Friday, we learned that we were about to face another year long deployment. **sigh** This is the second time that we’ve moved only to have Daddy deploy shortly after moving. There is something about him going to a billet outside of his MOS that seems to land him in a position to be sent off on a deployment. Gotta love that. In theory, this time around will be easier than last time as he should have regular communication with us. We’ll see how it all plays out as the year passes by. I truly believe that the Lord knew…

Establishing a New Routine

Posted in Family, Homemaking, and Homeschooling

We’re still getting settled into the new place even though we’ve been here a little over a month now.

Exploring Big Bear: Discovery Center

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

On Monday, we decided to take a break from the desert heat and head over to Big Bear for the day. Since we hadn’t been over there yet, this was more of an exploration drive rather than a trip for a specific purpose. Of course, Daddy decided that we would take the back roads to get there which meant off-roading in his truck. The dogs even joined us on our little adventure. The back roads were quite bumpy and narrow at points. Having another vehicle coming from the other direction took some fancy maneuvering for both parties. D loved every…
