After years and months and days and hours and minutes of praying, worrying, wishing, hoping, and begging, the stars aligned and God made a miracle happen for our little family. This July we will get to be together as a family…full time. But that’s not all folks! We are moving back to Asheville for good.Read more
It can be a bit confusing understanding all the required documents and procedures involved with signing up for, and actually taking a space available flight. I have met a few people in my Space A travels that I would consider to be gurus. I won’t consider myself at their level, but after having flown Space ARead more
“…Make believe you’re brave, and the trick will take you far. You may be as brave as you make believe you are….” A friend posted this quote from The King and I tonight on Facebook (why is all my inspiration coming from Facebook these days??), and while it’s applicable to her situation because she justRead more
I feel like we have become professionals at making TLF (Temporary Lodging Facility) home over the past few weeks. For those of you not in the military, or new to the military, TLF is both a blessing and a curse at times. It’s wonderful in the fact that different from a standard hotel you oftenRead more

I’ve read posts throughout the years written by some of my favorite bloggers making sure their readers understand that their blogs are a mere glimpse into the “pretty” parts of their lives. Ensuring those following that contrary to popular belief, they aren’t always dressed better than Rachel Zoe, eating a meal prepared by Wolfgang Puck himself,Read more
Those people stationed in Western Europe really have an unfair advantage. They have country upon country right at their fingertips, and a few years worth of weekends to spend exploring them. A fun (not so fun) fact about the military. While the leave time of 30 days a year sounds pretty generous, depending on whereRead more
After spending nearly a month with dad traveling all over the world to try various cases, Aubrey and I decided it was time to take advantage of the Space A program and make a trip back to the states. Coincidentally, the week we decided to go was the week Will got home, and wouldRead more
