Ultimate Blog Party




The Ultimate Blog Party... don't mind if I do! :) 

My name is Katie. My husband and I are currently living our life on the campus of Ohio University in southern Ohio. My hubby is a first year graduate student and I'm a first time stay at home wife.  Matt spends his time going to classes and working as a graduate assistant for health and wellness on campus. I spend my time volunteering on campus and attending a class here and there. (I recently found out I was accepted into graduate school and will start next fall!)

We are navigating life with the intentions of showing others sincere and genuine love. I'm constantly striving to be a better version of myself each and every day.

I find my joy in reading, writing, photos and people. I love people. And I love the stories people have to tell.

My blog has been one of the greatest resources for me while living the life of a trailing spouse. Far from home and our network of people, this blog has truly become a friend.

I have random stuff to share. With moments of inspiration. Stick around, comment, and let's be friends!

      Thanks for checking my blog out! Moving away from family and the 'norm' can be so hard. I have loved the opportunity to blog and keep family in the loop. It's therapeutic as well! Nice to meet you! :)

    What an adorable couple you are! :) I am a military spouse so I know all about being away from friends and family! Seems like you have figured it out though! Keep blogging! Hope you are enjoying the party! I know I am! Stop by www.forgetthedognotthebaby.com, and say hello!

      I have so so so much respect for you as a military spouse! Being away from my support system it just tough. I'm still working on 'figuring out' this chapter, but it's starting to be a bit easier. Blogging has been a gift! Thanks for stopping by--headed over to your space now! :)

    I'm just dropping by from UBP and had to tell you that we have the exact same wedding anniversary!! Yay for July 24, 2010! I don't know where you got married but I remember there being a torrential downpour that morning here in good ol' Michigan. We were so afraid it would be like that all day but the sun came out and dried it all up before the wedding!
    Be blessed,
    Ashley

      Oh I'm so glad to know someone else with the same wedding day! We got married in northern Ohio on Lake Erie... and yes... terrible storms had us panicked! I remember our rehearsal dinner on Friday night was one of the most severe storms I had ever seen. I was thinking... great--a total wash out. Amazingly the sun came out after an early morning storm and the wedding took place outside with out any issues. However it was about 90 some degrees that day. My poor guests.

      So great that you introduced yourself! I'll be hopping over to your blog too! :)

    Hi! And thanks for stopping by! My husband is currently studying (and I will start next year) College Student Personnel Higher Education-Student Affairs. It's kinda tricky to understand but we will be the staff working on college campuses who deal with everything outside the classroom. Such as campus activities, health and wellness, judiciary issues, academic support... it goes on and on. We just loved our college experience so much that we wanted to help create awesome undergrad experiences for other students some day :).

    Thanks for asking!
