Making a Comeback

Well, I went from a beautiful & warm Hawaiian life...

...to crazy cold weather with no beach in sight.

Change is good, though. I'm finally learning to embrace it.

We have finally settled in to our temporary home of Chattanooga, TN for the next 3-4 years. We finally have our car, our household goods, new furniture, new digs. Life is good.

I am so happy to be back on the Mainland, but there are so many things I miss about Hawaii. That lil island became my home. I learned to finally love it and I fell hard. It was made sweeter with the amazing friends that turned into family while I was there. Thus being the hardest to say good bye to. But such is military life. This was my very first PCS (permanent change of station). I am so thankful for a supportive husband. He constantly reminds me that each place we move will be different. There will be things we love, things we hate, and great friends along the way.

I am so thrilled to be back to blogging. I've truly missed it, though I did enjoy the hiatus! I know many of you have kept up with me via Instagram. I am on Twitter now, so be sure to find me (@michward4). Excited to get back into the swing of things! 

xoxo.


ps- If you've ever lived in or visited Chattanooga, we are looking for your favorite things to do! Let us know!

Time for a change

I apologize for my absence of late. 

I have been hiding. There is some real 'stuff' going on in my life right now.

The biggest being a problem I have with money. I am consumed by debt. Which sucks when it comes to my cupcake business, which I have had a lack of money and motivation lately. No bueno. I decided it needs to end here, while I am still young. Also because I have to move out by the end of the year. There is no way I am going to make it living paycheck to paycheck once I find a place for Jax and I. I signed up for Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. I hear so many great things about it.

Have you been through this class? 


I would love to hear your thoughts and any encouragement is appreciated.

If you have money issues too, I really suggest you going through this as well. 
Especially now while you are young.

Thanks to Pinterest, for giving me motivation and my sweet friend Pippa, for being there to listen.
