How did I get here? Hmmmm good question!  I was always a person that had a job.  From the time I was 16 I was a hard worker, from Starbucks all the way to Education Leader for a Paul Mitchell school.   When James and I got married our schedules were always clashing which definitely made our first few years of marriage tough.  When he decided to enlist in the Navy at 31 years old I was completely shocked to say the least but supported the decision full on.  When boot camp came and went and it was our turn to head to our first station in Washington.  Knowing that I would have to quit my full time career at Paul Mitchell, I felt a sigh of relief because I was reaching my stress breaking point.  I ended up quitting 2 months before joining James in Washington.  I really enjoyed being able to relax  little bit and just de stress for awhile.  It made the moving prep so much easier as well!  My family lived down the road a little bit to so being able to see them for while to get out of the house was great!!!  Now here I am, 2 months into being in Washington and reunited with James finally!!!!  We decided together at first that I would wait to find a job until James has to leave for his under ways with the navy in summer so that we can spend as much time together as possible.  Whenever the topic of working comes up, he immediately says he supports me whenever I am ready to go back to work, but then right after that says he LOVES having me home.  I mean come on he’s got a pretty great thing going right now with me staying at home, he comes home to a spotless house, food on the table as soon as he walks through the door, lunches packed for the next day and of course getting to spend as much time as possible with his amazing wife that slaved all day to get all of that done lol.  It is amazing how relaxed I am not having to work at such a demanding company anymore, but I feel like I need to do something to release a little bit.  Therefore this blog was created!  I had thought about starting one for while but could not think of a name for the life of me, until one day while parking at Costco I was getting frustrated at drivers and James says “oh the struggles of a housewife”.  Ding ding ding!!!! That is so my life right now! Trying to navigate this whole navy housewife thing has had its great moments as well as its tough, but I am so thrilled to finally get this blog up and running! Join me as I share my struggles, new tips I have learned from cleaning to cooking and the things I find important in this whole new military life thingie.  I hope you enjoy!!!
