  • Lent is upon us

    Hard to believe that it is almost Easter. It is not lost on me that Lent encompasses the first half of my assignment back home in FLA. Night Shift is no joke. I am happy to be home spending time with my kiddos and family and catching up with friends but I grossly underestimated the…

  • WRAPPING IT UP

    Today is my last shift in New Hampshire (for now). 9 1/2 hours to go, but who’s counting? Hard to believe it’s been 6 months that we’ve been up here already. It feels as though time has flown by, but in other ways it feels as though we’ve been here forever. This traveling gig has…

  • Wintering part deux

    My last post bemoaned our mild winter here in New Hampshire and it continues to be crazy weather in temp swings, snow, rain, etc. Just the pattern I suppose. Chalk it up to “global warming” or natural patterns in the weather, whichever camp you fall into. Either way, the reality is…….it’s winter and some days…

  • Wintering…..ish

    The winter here has been, let’s say…underwhelming. Now. Perhaps this is a bit premature, but meh. One big snowstorm and lots of RAIN. Rain melts snow. Also makes mud. Really gross. And not winter weather, more spring like. Anyway, plenty of winter left, so we will see what the next couple of months bring. It…

  • With snow covering the ground for the last few weeks, a Nor’Easter come and gone and last night a Bomb Cyclone winter storm striking a large portion of the US and leaving our area with temps in the 50’s yesterday and rainy/windy, essentially washing away most of the snow, followed by an hour of snow…

  • Nor’easter

    Currently we are in the end hours of our very first “Nor’easter”. Over the past 24 hours we received over a foot of snow, honestly prob closer to 2 feet (and it is predicted to continue to snow until this evening)— it’s been pretty wild. Kind of like living in a snow globe. Quite surreal!…

  • Peace among the chaos

    Mostly finished with unpacking. Currently on the to-do list: Of course, in the mix of house stuff, I need to finish up our Christmas shopping and get ready for our girls to come! YAY! It’s all good stuff tho. And in the morning, we get this beautiful view with coffee. How can one possibly complain…

  • The only way through it

    Is through it. With our new house (new to us) we weighed the option of buying furniture and ALL. THE. STUFF. Or bringing up our own stuff from FL. Numbers were crunched and we opted to bring up our stuff—- Lord knows we have plenty of it—-and fill in the gaps later if needed. The…

  • Thankful

    Thankful to have spent time with our family earlier this month in Thanksgiving. As we are so far from everyone right now, the time spent together is that much more precious. Thankful that we are one step closer to making this a permanent move. (At least for me…..Hubs is now a resident with no plans…
