Military Spouse of the Year!

Today, I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear who the 2011 Military Spouse of the Year will be! Of course I'm rooting for 2011 Navy Spouse of the Year, Robert Duncan! But big congratulations are due to all of the others!

Bianca Strzalkowski honored as the 2011 Marine Spouse of the Year

Megan Glynn honored as the 2011 Air Force Spouse of the Year
Crystal Cavalier honored as the 2011 Army Spouse of the Year
and ‎2011 Coast Guard Spouse of the Year Laura Vanderwerf

This is a contest held through Military Spouse Magazine. I feel a personal tie to this contest, as a year ago my signs were featured in the same issue as the 2010 Spouse of the Year!

Monday Meet-Up with the HomeFront!

First off, yes, I know its Tuesday. Yes, I'm a little late, but I'm okay with that! :)


This Week's Questions come from Leslie of Heart Adrift
(check out her shop because she has some really cool stuff!!)

1. Do you like to celebrate Valentine's Day or do you cringe at the thought of Cupid?
I love love LOVE Valentine's Day! I love to feel loved and to remind other people that they are loved! :) It is a fun holiday at my house with heart shaped foods and goodies for everyone!

2. Are you a flowers or candy kind of person? Or do you prefer something handmade?
I adore the handmades! My Valentine this year was a simple one from my sweet 8 year old. I couldn't have asked for more! (Though I wouldn't scoff at a pair of diamond earrings!)

3. What's your most memorable Valentine's Day story? My first Valentine's with my (now hubby) high school sweetheart. He made fillet Mignon & lobster tails. He covered a giant (like concert size) speaker with a table cloth, and had a candlelit meal in his room. We were 17 and this was sooo ultra romantic. Till his dad walked in and asked if I had somewhere else I should be.

Read more meetups at the HomeFront blog! And check back with me later because the cobwebs around this blog aren't doing any one any good!
