A Smattering of What We Do to Pass the Time...

Six months without our husbands was hard and no fun at all...but somehow the time did manage to go faster than we thought, and we did learn to make our own fun...

It was all ridiculously delicious of course. (look at us being all domestic!) :)

A Year in the Life of Three Army Wives

Welcome to our blog!! As first time bloggers we thought this was a good year to write about our lives, as the husbands are all deployed and we are adventuring Hawaii together! Aloha!

Sarah LeVan is a badass cash money makin' baby saver (ie an RN in the NICU at Kapiolani Hospital). She spends her days in Hawaii saving premies, putting up curtains, and cleaning up excited-Sammy pee, while her husband, Dominick saves the world.

Natalie Schoellhorn is a stay at home doggie mom, who spends her days making HGTV look amateur as she finishes the many house projects her husband Seth started - including but not limited to installing wood floors, painting, keeping a garden alive, and installing fans & lighting. She also occasionally finds time to finish her own paintings.

Sarah Keller is an unemployed graphic designer who has not only perfected the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe, but has also found time to manage her husband Thane's many cash money endeavors (owning a condo in Hawaii, building a home in South Dakota, and running a business).
