Our Army Household

Fact: There are things in every brand new marriage that are new and/or unexpected. 

My mister & I have been married for almost 6 months...and have lived together, in the same household, for a little more than 2 months. As we're adjusting to our new life together, there's certainly been no shortage of laughable moments! I find myself looking at my new home and can't help but feeling that I've indeed arrived on some foreign planet so I took the camera with me everywhere for 1 afternoon....and here's what I discovered...


This "stuff":

I recently took his dress uniform in for cleaning - it took about 10 minutes to remove all these items! It takes even longer to put them back on the uniform...so I don't even try. :)


These books:
War, war, war, war...


The movie collection:

Mostly war titles...100% masculine in any case..

The excessive camouflage:

Camo - hanging. It could also be laying, folded or draping. It comes in all shapes and sizes. It.is.everywhere.


The music:
Last week in spin class, we had an entire military-inspired themed workout: Green Berets, Love is a battlefield, War, etc... a real hoot!

The vocabulary:
Not to mention the acronyms that have now been added to my vocabulary. Partial list now includes: FRG, EOD, OCSC, PX, ACS, RLS, BN, BDE, XO, PT, S1, S3, etc etc etc...!


Amusing...indeed :)
