Welcome! You are here because you like me. Ok, maybe you're just curious about me. Fine... You really don't give a sh!t and you just stumbled on my blog accidentally and are desperately trying to find a way to click out. Well guess what?!? I won't let you! I'm going to get you hooked on this darn near blog and you're gonna love it. Promise...swear...mmm k?
Let's see. First things first. My name is Bridget and I'm in my first year of my thirties. Half-way through it actually. When 30 came a long, I will admit that I was not happy about it. I decided that when my birthday crept on me, that I would go through a mid-life crisis. I planned to throw crap around the room, kick a few holes in the wall and drive off in a Mercedes SUV, blazing a trail behind me. Actually, the day that I was dreading turned out to be a perfect day. The first official day of summer (well in my world because I was teaching first grade at the time and my birthday happened to be the last day of school... what better present can you ask for am I right???)
I currently live in New Mexico. And when I say currently, I mean, the present. You see, I married a military man and every few years, we relocate to a different and exciting place. I like to call them new beginnings. Before New Mexico, we were in Japan. Yes, I said Japan dude. And it was as cool as it sounds. Awesome. Totally miss it. Wish we could go back. And before that, we were in...drum roll please...New Mexico. Wow talk about full circle huh? Oh and an exciting (please read this in a sarcastic tone because that is exactly how it's intended) new development is that we found out recently where we are moving to next. You ready for it?!? Ok, here it goes... New Mexico. Yep, I said that right damn it. So since we've married, the glorious Air Force has move us to New Mexico, Japan, New Mexico and New Mexico. Of course, it's a different place in New Mexico and when I say place, I'm not kidding. It doesn't even classify as a city. Maybe a small town. But yeah, pretty much our next move is in the middle of no where. Great. Exciting huh? I know, what credit do I have calling this blog, Military Mama on the Move, if we've only moved three times?!? I don't know. It has a nice ring to it. And I do anticipate lots of moves in the future. I'm ready for it! As long as its in beautiful, tropical and desired vacation destinations. Anything else and Ima gonna be pissed. Thanks.
Ok now you must be wondering about the Mama part in my title. It just so happens I am a mom to two red headed children. My first is a boy, he's five years old and his name is Huey. His favorite activities are taking walks and playing fetch with his beloved soccer ball. He also likes to poop on the sidewalk and pee on upright objects. Alright, now wait a minute... you didn't think he was an actual person did you?!? I mean come on, what kind of mom would let their human kid poop on the sidewalk? I'm out there, but I'm not that eccentric. He's actually a wiener dog, the best of his kind, and quite possibly the future champion of the annual Wiener Dog Nationals. Haha. I'm not kidding. Look it up!
My second is a girl, she's three years old and her name is Rory. Ok fine, she really is my first human child and oh my gosh is she amazing! I just LOVE being her mom and I am blessed to currently be her full time, stay-at-home mama. Every day is new and exciting, time-consuming and stressful, horrible and impossible, and ends with me crying over a glass of red wine that is filled to the top. No, no, no. I'm only kidding. A little bit. Rory has kept me on my toes since the day she was born. She never wanted to be a baby (as in, if you even thought to cradle her or swaddle her, be prepared for the wrath of Rory-chan) She prefers to run, rather than walk, anywhere she goes. She has no fear and jumps right in to any new circumstance. She is a leader and she is sassy. What's that term...easy baby? I don't have one. I have met quite a few and I am amazed that such little beings exist. But you know what? I am up for the challenge. This girl and I, we are the best of friends. And with her daddy's military career, it's been just the two of us (ok three counting Huey) for many months at a time. It's crazy isn't it? The life of a military wife and mom is a force to be reckoned with.
Ok, I promise I'll stop with the sappiness. Let's get down to what you're really thinking: why I created a blog. Well guess what? I've had two blogs before this. But, I'm developing my craft and expanding my reading audience. My purpose for this blog is that I have no purpose. I am not a "What I'm Makin Monday" kind of blogger or a "How To" blogger. I'm just a lover of writing and documenting my journey along the way. Maybe you can relate to me, or maybe I can even make you laugh. Heck I may even piss you off at times. But guess what? We're all in this together. You're here for a reason. Something drew you to me. And that's great. But then again, something may be wrong with you cause I'm no Kate Middleton. I'm 5'1 with a rack as flat as a board and an ass the size of Texas. But I've got a pretty colorful vocabulary for a short, elementary school teacher and that seems to be what people are impressed with. In any sense, thanks for stumbling across my blog. If you're feeling brave, leave me a comment! I'd love to hear from ya. And if you're a creepy stalker in the cyber world, back the eff off and click out of this window immediately.

Speaking of being a military wife, let me introduce to my husband. His name is Mike and he also has red hair. So yes, I am definitely outnumbered. A husband, a child and a wiener dog with red hair. And you know, if you look up studies on people with red hair, they always say these individuals are very feisty and strong willed. Um, uh huh. Yes. This is true. But, that doesn't change the fact that I love, LOVE my red heads and am quite content being singled out. Anyway, Hubby and I are high school sweet hearts. He picked me before I picked him let me just say that! He is my other half, my best friend, the father of my child and the reason I am who I am today. I feel so lucky that we found each other at such a young age (14 to be exact!) and I am so excited for the new beginnings we will live through together.
