Military Spouse Appreciation Day Bloghop

In honor of Military Spouse Appreciation Day, Ann Marie at Household 6 Diva and RC at Riding the Rollercoaster. are sponsering this amazing blog hop! I first want to thank every single Military Spouse out there! We have an amazingly hard job and our soldier wouldn't be able to do their job without us. We are considered the "silent ranks" and I truly believe we are some of the strongest women out there! So, Thank You to you all for the amazing jobs you are doing at home!

Ok on to the introduction!

Hello and welcome blog hop visitors! If you don't already know me, my name is Kathryn. I'm a 20 something (actually closer to a 30 something, which my husband reminds me of quite frequently), teacher, mother to two beautiful children and an Army Wife. My husband is an Officer in the Army Reserves and he is currently deployed to the sandbox. :(

I grew up in Michigan and moved to Florida in 2007 to find a job. It was the BEST move I ever made!

I teach 7th grade civics and 6th grade Ancient Civilizations. I started out teaching elementary school, but with budget cuts and school enrollment going down, I went and got my middle school certification.I have been teaching it ever since. I actually love this age group. I especially love teaching Social Studies. That has always been my favorite subject and my dream subject to teach.

M and I met on Eharmony and fell in love. We've been together almost 4 years, although a lot of that time has been spent apart due to the Army. We got married on June 5, 2009 at the courthouse and had our (I should say my) white wedding on February 5, 2011.

Our little family on our second wedding day :)

Our two beautiful children are:

Little L who was born on May 26, 2009. He was born a month early and weighed 5lbs 15oz. He was and is our little surprise. He is his daddy's mini me!

And Baby E who was born on December 15, 2011. She was born right on time and weighed 8lbs 8oz. She is one of the happiest babies I have ever seen.

I blog about a little bit of everything. From military life, to school, the kids, friends and family. Not even a year ago I initially started this blog because I felt like I needed an outlet for my thoughts and feelings while my husband was deployed. Being a Reservists wife makes it hard sometimes, we don't have the support that a lot of spouses do who live near bases and other military families. I must say, I have met some pretty amazing women through this and am so happy I decided to do this.

Please feel free to leave comments! Especially so that I can come visit your little corner of the blog world. :)


Thank you for stopping by!
