Fortunately were only moving 4 hours down the road, but for other military families, this transit could include hotel rooms and weeks of waiting for household goods to arrive. Sort of makes me count my blessings and realize... things could always be harder so I'd better put on my big girl pants and make the best of it. Besides this move brings new adventures. This move brings me staying at home as a Coast Guard wife in a sea of Army wives....
I've never been "just a wife" I've been an Coast Guard Officer and a wife, but never just a wife. And to make things even more unique my husband is enlisted. Which means this former Active Duty Coast Guard Officer and wife will become a Coast Guard Petty Officer's wife in the world of Army enlisted. It's a new adventure for sure. But one I'm looking forward to. I'm proud and excited to see where my husband's career is going and I look forward to being able to stay home with my kids and pursue other passions I have such as photography and scrapbooking. I see myself as responsible not only for ensuring my children are loved, educated and happy, but for documenting my children's young lives and this will afford me these opportunities of which I am truly grateful to my husband for providing.
And since this blog is about my growth as a mom and photographer.... of course I couldn't pass up an opportunity to brag on my kids. Here are a few shots I took with my 40 mm pancake lens. It's become my new favorite lens and I definitely think I'm seeing improvement in my photography using it.
