Me! I like having a place for everything and everything being in its place. This doesn't happen very often, but it's my dream. Mike wouldn't notice if we didn't even have walking room in our house. He grew up with an artist mother and brother, so chaos doesn't faze him.

Aww, I loved reading that. I didn't know much about ya'lls relationship till now. :) So cute.
ReplyDeleteI looked for an email but couldn’t find one, so I thought I would just comment on your most recent post. I really enjoy reading your blog! I’m very new to the army life, as is my boyfriend, so its comforting to read about people who make it work and really love the lives they lead :) I just wanted to thank you for your uplifting blog, and just ask if you had any advice for surviving all of this with your sanity?!
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
