I'm also a huge fan of figuring out things you've always wanted to do but never had the time. When we were in San Diego for 6 months (not long enough to get a fab job), I signed up for a month of unlimited dance classes at the Academy of Performing Arts -- there were only a few other beginners, but I took jazz, contemporary, ballet, tap, you name it. WHAT A BLAST!!!!! Good luck!!GUAMtastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13064786027352578131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917212620557702461.post-83669050195186860522009-11-04T13:22:58.457-05:002009-11-04T13:22:58.457-05:00That's awesome!

I agree I love having a nice clean, tidy, home. With dinner cooked and ready for us to enjoy! I think that is a lost art. So many women are consumed by sucess in the work world they forget about the importance of taking care of your husband and home! So kudos to you. Sounds like we have a lot in common. Good luck with your efforts to volunteer. I think thats great. I don't know if it's of any interest to you, but I know I have really enjoyed volunteering in the Frg. It makes me feel good giving back to soldiers and their families. Just a thought. Regardless, goodluck! Have a great week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917212620557702461.post-70025074972057391902009-11-04T00:31:15.171-05:002009-11-04T00:31:15.171-05:00After 1 bottle of Chianti and 4 beers I love you e...After 1 bottle of Chianti and 4 beers I love you even more!!

When we first got married we were really good about giving, not just to causes but to individuals. I'm ashamed to say that has fallen off as our standard of living has gotten higher (higher than necessary, really). So I'm trying to think of more ways to reach out, both physically and financially, while David is gone and our expenses are down. Kudos to you for stepping out! I'm sure the food bank is excited to have you!JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03116405895683599572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917212620557702461.post-61453613532697827432009-11-03T23:20:37.415-05:002009-11-03T23:20:37.415-05:00I think its great that you are wanting to voluntee...I think its great that you are wanting to volunteer. I have been tossing the idea around in my head for awhile but my problem is I don't really have time. I think I might wanna try to do something for my hubs new Reserves unit. FRG or something. I don't know.<br /><br />But I think if you have time... do it. It will be very rewarding.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09336034641300754484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917212620557702461.post-52304624739853444802009-11-03T22:58:32.510-05:002009-11-03T22:58:32.510-05:00OH I know so many Military Spouses that are in the...OH I know so many Military Spouses that are in the same shoes... Just taking care of things around the house and life stuff so that when the hubby gets back there is nothing but relaxation. Because we all know how hard they work! <br /><br />BUT - it can be boring. And laundry, dishes, cleaning and cooking only takes up SO much time. Volunteering is a GREAT idea! :) <br />Many spouses don't take the initiative to get involved! I'm happy you are.... so have fun with it!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516254703112063102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917212620557702461.post-22013616323930662302009-11-03T22:45:09.046-05:002009-11-03T22:45:09.046-05:00Oh my gosh, that's such a great way to use the...Oh my gosh, that's such a great way to use the extra time you have there!
