Munchkin and I headed into town on Tuesday to pick up our grassfed beef order. While we were there, we saw this HUGE smoke cloud. We immediately knew that it was a fire of some sort. Not knowing what was going on, we finished up our errands and started to make our way home. As we were driving and got closer to the origination spot of the fire, we realized this was a large fire. I flipped on the radio to find out what was going on. We soon learned that a wildfire (human made, still under investigation) had been…

A Change of Pace
Posted in Family, and Military Life
For the past few months, we’ve been moving full steam ahead as we worked on the cabin and prepared for the upcoming move. Then the packers arrived to box up our household goods and move them into storage at our new location. Munchkin and I cleaned the house in preparation for the final move-out inspection. Munchkin attended her final TaeKwonDo classes and wrapped it all up with Ninja Night where she said a goodbye to her instructors and friends. She received some cards and nun-chucks as a farewell gift. It was a sad moment to be sure. On Monday morning,…
