I'm New Around Here!

Hi! My name is DeDe (at least that’s what I call myself) and I am so excited to be writing for the Loving a Soldier blog! Since I’m new around here, let me tell you a little bit about myself!

Tomorrow marks the first day of my birthday MONTH!! At the end of October, I will turn two years old! I’ve been an “Army Brat” my whole life and have been through two deployments already. One, while I was still in Mommy’s tummy and the second one started the day I turned one month old. Daddy was gone for 14 months and returned home in January 2009. Needless to say, I am LOVING all the time we’ve been able to spend together! A few months ago we moved from Ft. Polk, Louisiana to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma so that Daddy could attend the Captain’s Career Course. Soon we will be moving to Ft. Carson, Colorado and I’m excited and nervous at the same time! I’ve only ever lived in the south and I’m not sure what to think about the cold weather and the snow!!

Not only is my Daddy in the Army, but my Abuelo (Daddy’s Dad) is a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Airforce and Daddy’s brother is a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy! As you can see, I’ve got military running through my veins and couldn’t be more proud! I love the exciting, adventurous life the Army provides and look forward to sharing those adventures with you!
