Our little family...

Hi. I am Mrs. BD, I am married to my darling husband, Big Daddy and together we have created our very own little Diva. BD and I were married a little over 3 years ago after a whirlwind romance. I never thought my life could or would change that drastically in 10 months, but it did and we couldn't be happier. BD and I met weeks after his return from his last deployment and were married just 10 months later. Diva entered our life via adoption when she was 2.5 years old and we couldn't be more thrilled. Being a mother is something that I knew would happen but being the wife to a Soldier is simply a dream come true.


Currently BD is deployed to a beautiful tropical destination while Diva and I continue life at home. We are a reserve family in the midst of our first family deployment. Currently BD has been gone, including all the fun training before he deployed, about 6 months and we still have 10 months before he returns from his vacation. While he is sunning, I work full time, volunteer as much as I can and am writing a book... all while making sure that Diva doesn't get out of hand, gets her homework done and minds her manners.


I started this blog to talk about the no frills reality of deployment. We all have our issues, our frustrations and hell we have lives. Getting through this with other wives that "get it" is a blessing.

In order to get to know me.. and us everyday for 30 days, I will answer the corresponding question provided below.
