Life on Planet Caddick

Hosted by Wife of a Sailor - here's your chance to learn about other MilSpouses. What an incredibly intriguing group of people! 1 .  Have you (spouse) ever considered joining the military and what do you think of dual military couples?  submitted by  Project Army Wife Well...we spent many years as a dual military couple. So I obviously think they are incredible! It's hard because you have to decided things like "are we going to spend twice as much time apart as a couple so one of us can be home with the kids?" Which doesn't always work out anyway because well, it's the military. I could write a post about it - but I'll just say - most dual military couples really love each other and work their butts off to make their marriage work, just like anyone else.  2.  What is your idea of a perfect Sunday afternoon?  submitted by  A Few of My Favorite Things Having all the laundry and homework done so I can just stick my nose in a book and not have to b...

Once again, who's been slacking for more than a month on this? Um yeah. So, it's time to link up with Wife of a Sailor  and learn some interesting things about other wonderful MilSpouses. 1.  When you vacation what type of vacation do you like to take (beach, historic, adventurous, food oriented, etc.)?   submitted by  Megan Dub-Yuh Well, we love going to DisneyWorld and Hilton Head so I guess some adventure and some beach.  2.  What is your best memory associated with a song (you know we all have tons!)?   submitted by  Ramblings of a Marine Wife My song would be 'I Cross My Heart' by George Strait - that's the song we danced our first dance to at our wedding so it holds the most special memories.  3.  If you had six months with no obligations or financial constraints, what would you do with your time?  submitted by  Married to the Army No obligations actually sounds a little boring. What would I be all OCD about i...

Time to meet up with other MilSpouse bloggers and learn more about each other. Hosted by Wife of a Sailor , it's time for the Friday Fill-In. Here are this weeks questions: 1. Have you and your spouse agreed to live in separate locations (a geographical bachelor tour) knowing that the short-term inconvenience would have long-term benefits for your family? How did it work for you?  submitted by  When Good People Get Together Yes, but it was me. I did go to Iceland knowing that we would be able to pick a follow on. We wanted to come back to the east coast, so that's how we worked that. Was it worth it? Sure, we spend so much time apart anyway, why not get something out of it? 2. What is your favorite thing about being a MilSpouse?  submitted by  Sarah Ruth Today Um, I don't know if I have a favorite thing. We haven't moved or anything since I retired, so my friends are the friends I had when I was active duty. Oh I've got it - my favorite thing is I...

Oh my goodness, two weeks in a row! I must be on a roll here. Time to get to know some of the most awesome people on earth - MilSpouses! This lovely hop is hosted by Wife of a Sailor . Before I start answering questions though I just want to say I think this is awesome. MilSpouses are pretty much the same no matter what branch they are married to. Granted, each service has it's own quirks but that doesn't stop us from standing together as the "home front force". 1.  How many pets do you have? And what type? submitted by   Life and Times of a Displaced Jersey Girl   Ok, so currently we have no pets. This is the first time in years though. The boy and I are trying desperately to talk Erik into a dog - the boy needs a dog - but alas, he's standing firm on his "no" - for now. 2.  What are your favorite projects to do while hubby is away? submitted by  my-inspired-nest Honestly, I'm not I project doer.  I always think I will, but I never d...

Time to learn more about all the fabulous milspouses out there! Hosted by Wife a Sailor it's time for 1.    With PCS moves happening every few years, do you take the time to paint and decorate your home?   We always find a place to hang up our pictures, but we lived in this house for about 4 years before we painted any room but the living room. I actually just bought curtains for my son's room too. I grew up military and my mom always had trouble reusing the drapes from a previous house, so I've shied away from them. 2. If you could live in any home on a television series, what would it be?   Oh, that's a toughie. I like the apartment that the Russo family lives in on Wizards of Waverly place. I've always wanted to live in a big city above a business like that. I had friends in Germany who lived above a bakery and the apartment was a lot bigger than you would think! 3. What inspired you to start your blog?   After I retired I started hom...

Today I thought I'd join in on the MilSpouse Friday Fill-In. I'm rather random about doing these but I really liked some of today's questions! Link up with Wife of a Sailor to read the MilSpouse answers! 1. What romance movie scene reminds you of your spouse or s/o and the LOVE that you share? We don't watch romantic movies. We like comedies, he likes action, but romantic - yeah, not so much. So, I guess I don't have an answer to this question. Not off to a great start, huh? 2. If you were allowed to deploy with your husband to a war zone would you and why? I have deployed with my husband to a war zone. Believe me ladies, whatever you think is going on is 1000 times worse when you are there and know what's going on. Plus our son was living with my sister and it was suckish being separated from him. So, if given the opportunity - no I definitely would not deploy with my husband again.  3. Have you ever done anything intentionally/unintentionall...
