Do you ever feel like you are stepping right into the middle of the fire? Or just diving in head first without really a clue as to what you're doing? Or are you wondering how many more idioms I can throw in? This all leads to the news that...the offer Mark and I put on a house was accepted! Oh my goodness!!! Here's the background story: Mark and I were looking at another home in the same neighborhood when I mentioned how we should drive around to see if we...read more

I truly love so much about the Christmas season and have really made it a point this year to focus on giving. I came across a link on a friend's Facebook page about being a bone marrow donor and quickly clicked on it. I learned that as a member of the Armed Services, I cannot just go to my local blood bank and sign up; I have to use the channels through the Department of Defense. I googled this and came to this website: http://www.dodmarrow.org/ Because I...read more

Arm yourselves Nebraska Alumni, students, and fans. It's Big XII Championship time! Yes, this a completely unrelated to the Army post but ummmm I love college football!

I've been a graduate of MI BOLC for two weeks now. What have I been up to now that I am not stressed about the state of my existence 24/7? For starters... - I finally had a date night with my husband only to poop out around 9 at night because, well, that's my bedtime. I really tried to stay awake at the wine bar, I swear! - I cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal from scratch to include rack of lamb (for the meat eating husband of mine), sweet potato fries, glazed carrots,...read more

Periodic monthly PTSD bulletin from National Center for PTSD at VA
December 1, 2010
By: Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Kubiszewski
Trying to find, much less remembering all the possible sources of reliable PTSD and combat stress materials can be overwhelming. The NCPTSD remains one of the best. The November on-line bulletin contains excellent coverage on the impact of chromic combat related stress on our growing aged population. Without treatment along with active community support, these issues do have a serious impact on people's quality of life for years. Consider subscribing to this on-line resource at:...read more

This is my first Thanksgiving with my husband. It's also the first time I am making the entire meal myself and I am loving every single moment. As the lamb is marinating and the sweet potato wedges are baking in the oven, I find myself remembering how much I have to be thankful for. This past year has held many changes and challenges but I would never change a thing. I got engaged and married my Mr. Perfect and our marriage is proving to be my greatest...read more

Thanks to all my fellow servicemembers for a job well done. Thanks to our families for your love and support. We love you more than you'll ever know. YOU are the reason. Thanks to our American brothers and sisters for all you've done for us, too. Thanks to the Almighty for the blessings of freedom and liberty. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Eat a lot of turkey for me, but don't go too crazy. I'll write after my own upcoming...read more

Agh, It's been a while since I've written, but, in my defense, I've been on leave for the last four weeks. My wife and I welcomed our first child in late October, and my entire life has been turned upside down...in a good way! I am humbled and thrilled (and a little bit scared) to be a dad, but I can't wait for the adventures and the experiences that await me and my wife. Not to propagandize the issue, but the Army is a great support to parents. Even though...read more

I graduated! Who knows...maybe some day I'll make it onto the Hall of Fame.

One more day. Just one more day of class. One last briefing. One last time sitting in a windowless, locked room with horrible florescent lights. HOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAH It's now time for me to gather all my gear (where are those magazine holders?!) for turn in, prep my Class As, hand over all my textbooks (some where never used, go figure), finish clearing with Finance, sign my 1059, and get this graduation show started! I'll...read more
