Deployment Gratitude :: week 6

Deployment Gratitude

The kindest thing you can do for someone else is listen without forming an opinion ~ JLD Another week down! I feel like this week has gone by really fast. Once again I’m here writing another post, and thinking about all of the many good things that happened this week.   Friday really sticks out…

Rockin’ My Vox Box

SemperGeek App Love - Voxer

Have you heard of the app Voxer? No? Well then let me tell you. This app is pretty much pure amazeballs. Available on both Android and iPhone, this app turns your phone/device into a walkie talkie. Only better. It’s like a cross between a walkie talkie/instant messaging/voicemail. Touch the ‘hold and talk’ button on your…

Meet the Semper Fi Fairies

Semper Fi Fairies fairy door

Did you catch the post a while back about Fairy Doors? I have loved this idea the moment I caught wind to it, and finally my fairy doors have arrived. The first one came just over a week ago. As soon as it arrived I found a quiet little spot for it in my closet,…

I do…

I shop through Amazon a lot, and even though I know what I’ve ordered I still get excited to see my package come in the mail. Occasionally I get random packages from…

In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t really been blogging much. Which also means I haven’t updated my newsletter. The one thing keeping my SFM FB page alive is my #deploymentgratitude photos that stream from IG and my random updates or questions. Truth is, these past couple of weeks I feel like a duck on…
