Manda in the Military

Just wanted to say thanks for 7k💕 I’m so happy you’re all here to share in my journey. Active duty military, soon to be mom, stepmom, and a wife. 🥰 Let me know in the comments what you want to see more of!

My maternity photos came back and I am so in love with them. We have about 35 days to go until we get to meet our bundle of love. My husband and I are so excited.
I’m equal parts excited and scared. I want to be the best mom for him. He deserves it.

It’s moments like this when I truly think I have the best husband and partner.

Being a Mil to Mil couple is so hard sometimes. We’re both dedicated to our careers and are career focused people but at the end of the day, he’s my number one supporter and I am his.

This Valentine’s Day we are separated because of a TDY that I elected to go on. And even though it was my decision to take this trip he still found a way to make valentines so special for me. These were waiting for me at the front desk of my hotel when I got home today.

Camping in the rain this weekend 😂

This Dirty Vanilla Chai with cold foam is literally the best drink I’ve had in such a long time. And the owner is SO nice.

What’s your go to coffee order?

I’ve been MIA from social media lately. With NCOA and going to college, it’s been a busy month. 2 weeks left of NCOA and then maybe a PCS in the future for me and the husband.

Took a break from the real world and camped out this weekend. Spent some time with friends that feel like family sometimes. Broke our side by side but made some fun memories.

How did you spend your weekend?

I hope you all has a wonderful weekend 🥰

How are you spending your Sunday? I’m out riding around in the side by side enjoying the beautiful views Alaska has to offer 🥰

Okay okay. I’ve been gone for a while but I’ve also been very busy. Husband and I drive just over 9500 miles round trip. Beautiful scenery but we are tired now 😂 camping adventures in Alaska soon to come!

Y’all, I am so tired. Me and my Husband have been non stop traveling. We get a 4 day break to hang out with my wonderful stepsons. They go back to their moms on Sunday and then Monday we’re heading back to Alaska!!

Mission Part 1 Accomplished! Me and my husband purchased a toy hauler. Now we just need a toy to go in it. So excited for future glamping days. After tent camping for 2 years, this will be a NICE change.

Driving through Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Iowa was LONG roads of nothingness but we stopped to see Crazy Horse monument (still in progress), Mount Rushmore, the Badlands and The Worlds Largest Popcorn ball 😅😂

We drove through Canada in two days! 😮 Back in the USA! We stopped at a Tim Hortons, stopped at Sign Post and then trucked it out cause we didn’t feel like stopping 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Next stop is Mount Rushmore (and maybe the Badlands)

Cheers 🥰

Me and the husband are taking a 3 week trip from Alaska down to the lower 48 to pick up a camper. So if you don’t see any videos this is why. Excited to have you all along the way. This was our day one! We stopped and camped out on Tok AK before taking off to Canada this morning. Tell me places I need to stop along the way 🥰

Change isn't easy, but it's necessary. We cannot sit back and wait for things to change. We have to do them ourselves.

We’re not defined by the choices we have made, but by how we choose to grow from them.

Leaders must be teachable and ready to change with a new environment. To adapt to changes, leaders must have a strong understanding of what they are trying to accomplish and the purpose behind it.

Leadership is a journey, not a destination. Make sure you are always evolving and growing as a leader.
