I am in the market for some big art to cover the walls of our new place. It's mostly going to be a mix of DIY (like this) and some prints I bought recently from 20×200. However, I want to toss a few photos on the walls too. I joked awhile back about hanging this…

I had an entirely different "magic monday" post written and set to go live in this spot today. It was about how I was able to drive up to LA and see a USC football game this past weekend and how awesome it was. It talked about how I loved college and enjoy stepping back…

The thing about deployments is…they suck. That's really the bottom line. At least from where I am sitting. But sadly, they are a part of the game for us and so we keep going. I have some days that are great and I'm feeling good about my routine. And others where my friend, Self-Pity comes…

Paul gets home from a month long training session in Mississippi late tonight. I am going to soak him up and squeeze him tight and celebrate all weekend long. This will be our last weekend together in San Diego. Immediately after his deployment, we will be moving north (to the Ventura area) because he'll be…

Paul will be back from training in a week and a half. We will then have about a week together before he deploys. At this point, we are expecting him to be over in Afghanistan until about mid-February. It's very unpredictable but we are looking at around 28 weeks apart. The GMO (General Medical Officer)…
