Friendship was a hard learned lesson. Standing in a huge oak floored room with a wall of mirrors I glanced across the room to settle my eyes on a girl my own age, resplendent in a pink leotard, black leg warmers, white tights and pink coke-bottle glasses. We were attending our first day of beginner [...]
I’ve been knee deep in the politics of this country for the last two months. So much so that I plug my earbuds in to listen to the Strategy Room while at work, turn the television on as I walk in the door at night, pray for the country while I walk in the [...]
A few weeks ago (my goodness, I’m behind in my writing!) I went to a fruit farm with one of my friends here in Kansas. It was raining sheetsthat night and I could barely see to drive my itty bitty sports car through the downpour. Nothing, I mean nothing was going to stop [...]
The Husband and I are often plagued with the question, “So… when are you guys going to have kids?” The question used to really bother me because I felt as if we were too young… and really, it is not anyone else’s business.

The Kansas bounty is here! Most of my friends know my life goal is to become a professionally trained chef one day. Of course, knowing this, my friends will randomly drop home grown vegetables by my house. I will never turn down a vegetable (unless it’s a mushroom. Thankfully, the only [...]
This is long. Pull up a chair… and if you drink wine- pour a glass (or two).
If I’m going to be honest here, because this is, after all, my space to be me. (Hence the 1freshstart… it’s me- finding me again). I’ll let everyone who reads this in on a secret. Shhh… don’t tell anyone. [...]
The first time one of The Husband’s friends called to say, “Whiskey… I met a girl. I think I want to marry her. You’d love her… she’s just like you” I chuckled to myself and said, “oh, aren’t you sweet.” He was in the UAE at the time and asked that [...]
“I’ve been hit…” not so funny if you’re reading this and one of the many military wives out there that read me daily. But then again, I have a sick sense of humor and I have been hit! By Prudy, no less! I’ve been attacked by a six random thoughts meme and a music meme! [...]
Yesterday was The Lovely Co-Worker’s birthday. The Lovely Co-Worker has been on a very strict healthy lifestyle eating program since February (and I swear she looked great before, even more stunning now) and hasn’t had a drop… not a single sweet nibble of sugar since she started this healthy lifestyle way of eating. So I had [...]

As a proud Air Force wife I live my life supporting a "mission first" mentality. Take an inside look at my life inside the silent ranks, the ups and downs of loving a military man and putting our country first. Plus... come along for a sneak peek as the camouflage comes off and I share my love of healthy cooking, photography and kicking butt at Kick-boxing.
