The Time of Our Life: l'chaim
http://philipandjoy.blogspot.com/2015/05/lchaim.html
Saturday, 16 May 2015. Last weekend I spent the whole of Sunday editing Philip's thesis. I was kind of like "I have no freaking clue what you're writing about AF doctrine and irregular warfare, but sure I'll tear your writing to shreds." A few hours in he asked, "what page are you on? We're looking forward to a long weekend in CO at the end of this week (though how is it that when you are gone for two days of the week that suddenly those two days that the result is 5 days of work being compressed into 3?

The Time of Our Life: 20-29
http://philipandjoy.blogspot.com/2015/05/20-29.html
Saturday, 2 May 2015. However, on this the last night of life in what has been a pretty wild decade of my life, I decided it was high time for me to begin to mark time and keep telling our story. The aforementioned work-life balance is about to make a big shift in a couple of weeks during which time I will make a concerted effort to give an update of highlights of the recent months. A primary reason that it has been quiet is that most weekends have looked like this:. Tomorrow I turn thirty. Philip and I ...

The Time of Our Life: October 2014
http://philipandjoy.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 25 October 2014. Red, yellow, and orange. We are solidly in autumn territory my friends. I love that the trees are on fire with color. I recognized last weekend that stepping out side being hopeful that a coat was not necessary was no longer a viable possibility. A couple of weeks ago we made a weekend trip up to NYC. It was a great time out where we were able to set aside some time to spend time with dear friends who are definitely walking through some "real life". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Time of Our Life: September 2014
http://philipandjoy.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, 20 September 2014. Settling into new spaces. I feel an absence of profound things to say today. But that's okay. Life lately has been about being present and appreciating the everyday. Philip and I have started to settle into new spaces and routines. It has been wonderful to reconnect w/ former colleagues and start to find my place within a new team at a group practice in Arlington as I've stepped into new platforms on a professional front. So I must endeavor to continually rest in Who. Somethi...

The Time of Our Life: August 2014
http://philipandjoy.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, 22 August 2014. Last weekend Philip and I went on a date. A date we had been planning for four.years. It all started the night we took this picture. . . A marvelous way to celebrate Philip's return from the desert and our reunion after 10 months apart. Soooooooo we went to Subway. I'mnotevenjoking. We ate. And ate some more. And lingered longer. And ate a bit more. Amazing journey that has been this chapter of our life. As I was growing up, my mom frequently reminded me the words that her mother,...

The Time of Our Life: January 2014
http://philipandjoy.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 20 January 2014. The Life of The American Military Family. Sending emails like this one:. Just wanted to say hey. I know about Daniel Lee. I actually knew about it shortly after it happened) and just read about another ISAF guy being killed in the last 24 hours. 2 to the heart. 1 to the mind. Know that your heart is very much on my mind and that your mind is very much in my heart. Always being aware that the "if anything happens to me" letters sit in a box in the bottom in your closet. And feeing...

The Time of Our Life: March 2014
http://philipandjoy.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 March 2014. The difference between a red dress and a black dress. Fifteen days ago I stood at Baltimore Washington International Airport staring at a door. Waiting for it to open. Desperate for the first glimpse of my husband after he cleared customs. It was a day we had waited for a long time. A day on the calendar he had painstakingly stared at for hours during the previous year. A day filled with joy. And that was/is/continues to be overwhelming. And that kills me. And it's not fair&#...

The Time of Our Life: April 2014
http://philipandjoy.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 April 2014. I slept in my own bed. In my own home. With my husband. last night for the first time in almost a year. It was pretty great. A little bit sad/crazy-making knowing I can't do this on a regular basis for another 3 months but wonderful nonetheless. We subleased our DC condo throughout the deployment. I had moved out in July ( no words for how sad/emotional/weird that was. Last night we got to start moving back in. Kind of. A wonderful Sunday afternoon date in Philly last weekend.
