Buon Anno from Italia

Happy New Year! Or, as Italians might say, Buon Anno! It’s been awhile since I’ve written for My Military Life and I have to say, I’m super excited to be back. I’m in my last year of graduate school so any time I’ve spent on a computer in the past few months had been dedicated [...]

Memorial Day

I’ve never really been a patriotic person. Not to say I don’t tear up when the Star Spangled Banner plays on July 4th or that I burn the flag or anything, but I’ve never been one to run around the streets of America professing my love for my country and it’s people. Truth be told, [...]

Coupons To Troops

I first heard about Coupons to Troops while lazily scrolling through my Facebook news feed as I have so many other times before. Cool, so-and-so got her hair cut. Great, this dude is at work. Blah, blah. Same old, same old. However a picture of a ton of coupons caught my eye that was posted [...]

We Can Do It!

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” – Confucious When I married my husband a little over a year ago, I never once considered that getting a job would be a problem. This was mostly because I fell head over heels for a man in [...]

Happy New Year friends, from Italia! This was my first New Years in Italy and I was so excited to continue our holiday vacation once again in Venice. My husband and I had researched the festivities that went on throughout the night, the fireworks to scare away evil spirits, the old clothes and furniture that [...]

Buon Natale!

If you don’t speak Italian, you may not know that the title of this blog post is titled, “Merry Christmas!” I learned this phrase yesterday, on December 25th while we were strolling the streets of Venice. We had been to Venice quite a few times before (seeing that it is only an hour away and [...]

Finding (and Embracing) Your Passion

Ciao, amicos! The last time I wrote I talked about the transition from career woman to milspouse and how it was anything but easy. However, I’ve always enjoyed a challenge (well, cried through it but appreciate the outcome) and am up for this one as well. By all means I feel like an awful, miserable [...]
