Tag Archives: HH6 This month we were given assignments at Loving A Soldier, because it was Military Appreciation Month and most of us are military spouses who were honored by Military Spouse Appreciation Day mid-month. Our assignments were to profile spouses who inspired us and then profile ourselves. My part 1 was a celebration of milspouse trailblazers Kathie…  Army Wife Talk Radio is the leading internet talk radio show for Army wives, by Army wives.

The winner is Sarah of Manapproveddiet.com. I asked Sarah some questions and this is what she had to say: Tell us your name and a little about your family.

That just means Oscar Night is behind us, and I now have a list of movies to add to Netflix this month. I am especially behind this year. I still haven’t seen any of the Best Picture… What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? You’d think I’d say acting, but nope. Guess you’ll have to read to find out more. What is your favorite word? Empower – there is nothing like helping someone be empowered or feeling empowered yourself. Now wasn’t that fun? What is your favorite word? Poppycock. I wanted to be an actress and that would definitely be my second career if I quit teaching, lol. Oh and I was 3-3 mam – can I please keep my 50% title!! LOL – Love ya mommas!! What is your favorite word? Right now, it is Awesome Sauce (I guess that is 2 words, LOL). I don’t like food service either. Our whole family loves Vin Diesel (in Pacifier and Iron Giant). I just added “Find Me Guilty” (2006) to my NetFlix list, because I heard it was one of his best serious movies. Have you seen it? I thought you picked three winners and three losers. The “3″ I was referring to was Best Picture, Actor, and Actress, so I thought you were 2/3 on those and I was 0/3. Oooohhh Pppycock! Vin = yummy! I almost said my fav word was nutmeat just to make you laugh…: I have not seen it because I heard it was his worst movie and I couldn’t stand to see him with hair on his head, LOL. I called it on animated movie too – Brave won as I predicted!! CLAN MCINTOSH!! LOL I’ll let you know what I think.

Star,
I loved your profile interview! Because the questions are so much fun, and because I just love talking about Ian, I thought I’d give it a shot.
Name:
Kristen
How long have you been with your service member:
In the soul-matey way, since we were 17. In the more traditional sense, since about three weeks before he left for Iraq in 2003. (Married since June 2005.)
We met in high school. Ian’s father was in the military, and I was the child of a GS-12 working at Campbell Barracks in Heidelberg when Ian moved to the area and ended up in my senior-year English class. He would sit in the back in his Drover jacket, the kind that would probably not be appreciated these days but that was pretty cool back then (for metal-heads).
He was tall, and he had dark hair and blue eyes. My crush was pretty immediate, but my confidence left something to be desired, so I slipped secret admirer notes into his locker. Eventually, he coaxed me (with a rather rude note written in pencil on his locker door) to reveal myself and we’ve been best friends ever since.
Your favorite duty station:
Rochester, NY, unless the Guard counts (he’s now in the National Guard), in which case CT.
Connecticut is gorgeous and close to so many great cities.
Your most challenging duty station:
Ft. Rucker, AL. Muggy, hot, black-widowy, and muggy. And hot.
What most inspires you:
Kindness.
If you could go back and tell your new-to-Army-life self any piece of advice, what would it be?
I was never really “new” to Army life, so I don’t know that I can answer this. I grew up in Germany – was there from age 7 to age 19 – and military people were everywhere (one of whom became my first husband). But for those who are new to it, I’d probably say to have fun with it. Try to get what you can out of the travel (and appreciate that moves are paid for), and remember that long separations (field training exercises, classes, etc.) can be good. Most couples don’t get the kind of needed breaks military couples get.

Star, I especially like your paragraph about stars! And I’ve always thought your name was pretty cool.
