Change of duty station

Well its about that time again,

Time to look at places for us to move to.


After being with my husband for 7 years I have moved from my home state of WA to go to upstate NY and then from NY to VA and now we will go to SC or NY again and we will probably go to NY.

Many of my friends would say, you didn't like NY so why would you go back? For the past few days I have been thinking long and hard about this and this is what I have to say,

Even if I didn't like NY when we were there last I will go because that is what my husband wants to do. As a wife and more so as a military wife its my job to be my husband's support system in whatever he wants to do. Sure I do have a say and I can have input about where we go but at the end of the day the Navy is my husband's job and if tomorrow he said we were moving to the middle of nowhere I would make the best of it and find a way to make it an adventure and to have fun. There will always be pros and cons about any place that you live, weather YOU decided to move there or a JOB decided that you had to move there. As a Navy wife all I can do is find the best in any and all situations that are thrown at me. At the end of the day I know that my husband is protecting this country and that no matter what happens we have each other in this crazy life.



So bring on those orders!! I am ready for whatever big Navy has to offer us, I may not like it at first but its all an adventure in the end.

BRRRR..... time for some chili

So earlier this week it snowed here in VA.

Snow in VA?!?! Where did my beach town go?

So since it snowed and was SUPER cold (it was 19 degrees) I decided to make some chili to warm me up.

Ingredients:

1 red bell pepper
2 green bell peppers
1 yellow onion
2 cloves of garlic
chili seasoning
1 can of pinto beans
1 can of kidney beans
2 cans of diced tomatoes
hominy
1 pound of ground beef

First you are going to cook your meat. I like to add the garlic in with my meat so it has a little bit of flavor. Once your meat is done cooking drain it and set it aside. 

While your meat is cooking dice up all your veggies and put them in your pot. 

After your veggies have cooked for about 10 minutes or so add all your veggies and beans. 

Then add the meat and seasoning. 

Let simmer for at least 30 minutes then serve. To get a really good taste I like to put it on low and simmer for about 6 hours or so. 

Blog more

I made a promise to myself that I would blog more, but that hasn't happened. I am sorry dear readers for that. I truly do blame my A.D.D. My brain just goes in 5 million different directions that I forget to write down my thoughts or to post what I have made for dinner. I promise that I will be writing more about everything. To tell the truth I need it, I need to let out my frustrations about my life, about deployment and about the normal boring stuff. For now though this little post will just have to be good enough.
