1.What is a weird/funny superstition that you have? (from A{muse}ing Mommy on a Pink Park Bench)
Well Im a baseball fan, through and through, so I have plenty of superstitions (like its bad luck to talk about a no-hitter in progress for example)! I would say my biggest one is the old "stepping on the sidewalk crack" thing. Its supposed to be bad luck if you step on the crack of a sidewalk, so I never do it! Also, I have a little baseball dude that always sits on the front dash of my car. He is a good luck charm and Ive had him since I made my first road trip as an adult in July of 2000. When I traded in my Kia and bought my Sebring in 2007, I promptly put him on the new dashboard where he has remained ever since :)
2.What are your hopes and dreams for the years AFTER the military? After all, we aren’t in it forever! (from Stetsons, Spurs and Stilettos)
I hope that when Kevin retires I will be in a great career working towards retirement so that we can enjoy our golden years with our children and grandchildren. By then we will have found a great place to permanently settle down I hope!
3.Since [this] month is National Apple Month (no really!), I’d probably ask: What is your yummiest apple recipe? (from NH Girl Displaced)
When I was about 10, my stepdad showed me how to make homemade from scratch Apple Pie! I dont have the recipe on me, its in the Household Goods on the way to our new duty station! I will do my best to remember to post the recipe once I get my hands on it though, its deeeeeeee-licious!!! I love love love apple pie. Great now I want to make some apple pie haha. I also love apple cobbler and apple crisp. Heck, I love Apples haha.
4.How long have you gone as a military spouse without talking to your husband/wife during service? (from A Navy Princess and Her Little Sailors)
Well, as some of you know, I was married before from 2002-2005. My ex husband joined the army after 9/11 and about 1 1/2 years after we started dating. In 2003 he was sent to Iraq for a year and this was when the conflict really first started. They had almost nothing for communication. I think the longest I went was about 3 months--it was really rough. With Kevin, I will get to talk to him more frequently when he deploys
5.I occasionally watch When I was 17… on MTV. So, what was something that was significant about your 17th year of life? (from Ashley Amazing)
OMG this will probably sound horrible, but my parents forgot my 17th birthday. I was a junior in High School and working at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. My life was homework and work, nothing really exciting.
