JULY // A D V E N T U R E //
In 2017, I’m hunting the good stuff. I am setting aside the turmoil I see all around me and instead recording snapshots that will tell a story of fun, adventure, joy, and thankfulness. This is the story of my life and I’ll choose the tone and how I want to tell it; I do that daily with my Continue reading

Recovery from Relocation
The longer we are active duty military, the more quickly and aptly I’m able to self-diagnose and articulate the funk I’m in. What it is this time, is something I have recently described as the Post-PCS Crash, also known as Complete Depletion. There is a process to arriving at this state of being, so I’ll Continue reading

Some Thoughts on Augusta and Why Fort Gordon is the Army’s Best Kept Secret
I have been avoiding writing this post for a while now, mainly because I knew the emotions that it would stir and quite honestly, I’m already drained before this move has really even started. Before we left El Paso, I needed to memorialize our time there and encapsulate all of the blessings and lessons learned Continue reading

My *New* 100 Year Old Bed
This is a story about a bed, decorating your house with a limited budget yet filling it with things you love, and the power of the Internet. Since before Ryan and I married, I have always held a deep love for antique furniture items that tell a story. I bought a U.S. Navy desk from the Continue reading

Six Year W.A.C.K.-a-Versary =)
Another year is under wraps! It’s really hard to wrap my mind around many things: first of all, that another full year of the Wood Academy is under our belts, second that we now officially have TWO middle schoolers, and finally, that our time in Georgia has come to an end. I frequently reflect upon Continue reading

Location Independent
I have been in a funk lately. It’s actually a familiar funk that I revisit occasionally. I know that much of what has contributed to that has been the constant mental chatter about what I need to do as we prepare for our first of two moves this year. I’ve been trying my hardest to Continue reading

The Woods Go To Washington
Sunday: Sunday was a travel day. We’d planned to get a way a little earlier, but we finally left Augusta around 8:30 am. We stopped at Firehouse Subs and Starbucks near Lumberton, NC. We had a few other bathroom and coffee stops and traffic really got heavy once we were in Virginia. We arrived in Continue reading

March // A D V E N T U R E //
I don’t know about you, but I am nearly overwhelmed with all of the negativity, dissension, conflicting viewpoints, and division that seems to be threatening to overtake my heart and mind. This has been mounting for a while. With the current political climate AND the fact that 2017 promises to present our family with some Continue reading
