2012 MCAS Yuma Air Show

Posted in Military Life, and Photography

The skies were clouded over on Saturday morning which is not normal for our area. The forecast called for rain in the afternoon – another rare occurrence here. Normally, this wouldn’t be anything to be concerned about, but today was the day for the air show. I hoped that the cloud cover would not cause any issues for the air show attendees. Once Munchkin and I were up and about, we walked over to the air show. Daddy was already over there as he had driven over earlier, so I gave him a call once we arrived. We met up near the entrance…

Thankfully, the Lord always works things out for us, so we end up being somewhere that works out for us in some way or another. Before moving here, we were unexpectedly stationed in southern Virginia. This was not on the radar for us, but Munchkin and I very much enjoyed it. Daddy was deployed most of our time living there, so he didn’t really get to enjoy it as much. lol! Once he got back…

Getting Organized Before the Move

Posted in Homemaking, and Military Life

With each move comes the need for purging the extras that we no longer need and organizing the items that we do need. Since we have orders overseas, I’ve decided not to wait until the last minute to start the process. Plus, this move requires a more brutal purging process for our household items which means taking a closer look at what we really need. We don’t want to pay to store items we don’t need. We also don’t want to waste our precious overseas weight allowance on “stuff” we don’t really need. Our IKEA Trofast system is one of…
