C25K Week 1, Day 2 & 3

I got a little behind this week (that doesn’t bode well, since this is week 1!) but I kept on truckin’ this weekend. I blame Thanksgiving for my procrastination. I ran day 2 yesterday and day 3 today. I am already feeling better and dare I say that it’s actually fun. I looked forward to [...]

My Favorite Commercials

There are a few commercials on right now that really make me laugh or smile. I thought I would share them with you. #1 – HP ePrint Happy Baby (I love the song in this one. That is what initially caught my attention. Then I saw the cute little baby wheeling around and I was [...]

GOBBLE, GOBBLE!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Our day has been relatively low key. My mother-in-law arrived yesterday so you know what that means. Ash and I were able to sleep in this morning! After I woke up and got some coffee in me, we started cooking for our delicious feast: hash brown casserole, green bean casserole, sweet potato [...]

Project 365: 305-325 (November 1st – 21st, 2010)

I’ll be honest. Initially this Project 365 didn’t seem too bad, but I’m going to be glad it’s over. The year is so close to being done, I can’t stop now. It’s just a pain in the butt at this point. Better late than never….I say that a lot lately. 305 (November 1st, 2010) This [...]

Giving Thanks 2010 – NOT being in Korea this year!

Day #23 (November 23rd, 2010) – NOT being in Korea this year! My first duty station after going on active duty and completing OBC was South Korea. I spent the first year in Daegu, which is a city down south. Typically, unaccompanied tours were only a year long. When it came time to start making [...]

Giving Thanks 2010 – Holidays with Family

Day #22 (November 22nd, 2010) – Holidays with Family Thanksgiving, 2009 – Reagan is so little! Being a military family, sometimes it is hard to plan for the holidays. Schedules change, training changes, deployments change. Who knows what the Army will throw our way. We are so lucky this year that we will be together [...]

C25K Week 1, Day 1

I started! I actually got up this morning and did my first Couch to 5K podcast. The app is awesome, minus the fact that every time the guy came over my headphones and said, “Start running”, I felt like he really should have been saying, “Run fatty, run”. Harsh, maybe, but that is how I [...]

Giving Thanks 2010 – Sleep

Day #21 (November 21st, 2010) – Sleep Now that I am on vacation for the week, one of the things I was really looking forward to was catching up on my sleep. I knew that I had been stressed and sleep deprived, but I had no idea just how bad it was. When I got [...]

Giving Thanks 2010 – VAY-CAY!

Day #20 (November 20th, 2010) – VAY-CAY! {source} That’s right! I’m on “vacation”. I have the ENTIRE week of Thanksgiving off. I definitely need it! It’s been 14 weeks straight of go, go, go! School has been kicking my butt. I can handle the academic side of it and I’m doing REALLY well. It is [...]

Living under a rock…..

{source} ….and that rock is nursing school. Thankfully I have ALL of next week off. I plan on taking this weekend to get caught up on things like laundry (there’s literally a TON of it), blogging (haven’t been keeping up with my thankful posts of my Project 365), spending time with the family and getting [...]

keep looking »

Hi! My name is Erin and welcome to my little slice of the internet. I'm a 29 year old OIF veteran, lover of Patriot football, Zumba addict and full time student. I started this blog to keep my friends and family informed on our growing family. My husband is on active duty and the Army has us stationed far away from our families.

In August 2010 I began my graduate studies at Vanderbilt University. I am studying to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and plan on graduating in August 2012. It has proven to be a tough exercise in time management and balance, but anything worth it requires hard work!!

Thanks for stopping by!
