The Quinn-tessential Life: Half-way there!
http://thequinn-tessentiallife.blogspot.com/2013/04/half-way-there.html
Saturday, April 13, 2013. Here we are, almost six months to the day since Mike left and oh, my poor, abandoned blog. This blog used to be such a great outlet for me, a place to type out all my thoughts and reminisce on fun family outings. Now, it has become something similar to a dusty book on a shelf, loved at one time, but now simply forgotten. I am SO happy that we are half-way done with this deployment. BUT, guess what? April 13, 2013 at 10:43 AM. I loved reading this Bridget! Keep your chin up and I...

The Quinn-tessential Life: Short update
http://thequinn-tessentiallife.blogspot.com/2012/09/short-update.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Goodness has it been a long time or what? I'm ok.no really, I am. I have known what was to come for some time now and I am very proud of my husband. We are so lucky that we could go this far with him before he sets off so now is the time for us to enjoy every second until he leaves. In other news, Rory is blossoming into such fun and smart little kid. She turns 14 months next week and can say many words. The standard day to day words are hi. And most importantly, doggie.

The Quinn-tessential Life: September 2011
http://thequinn-tessentiallife.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 18, 2011. So far this morning. I woke up to a smiling baby just as she spit up on our freshly washed sheets. I changed her diaper and placed her happy self on her play mat. I put in a work out DVD (Insanity to be exact) and made up every excuse under the sun why I shouldn't do this video. SO, I didn't do it and instead played with my little one. I noticed poor Huey was very tired so I placed him underneath the stroller in the storage compartment to which he happily stayed. I used to loo...

The Quinn-tessential Life: Want the skinny on skinny jeans???
http://thequinn-tessentiallife.blogspot.com/2012/11/want-skinny-on-skinny-jeans.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. Want the skinny on skinny jeans? My mom is sitting outside with my Roo and I'm sitting in my office with my skinny jeans. Do I feel skinny in them? Mmm, not really. Do they flatter my figure? Mmm, not so much. Do they look good with everything I wear? Mmm, nope. Then, why, do you ask, am I wearing them? Which is why I have so many skinny jeans and why I insist on wearing them. I caved and pried on the darn skinny jeans and since then, I have never looked back. July 29th, 2011.

The Quinn-tessential Life: May 2012
http://thequinn-tessentiallife.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 26, 2012. On April 1st, Mike, Rory and I boarded our plane headed for Honolulu, Hawaii! Mike had lived there when he was a kid and gone there on a TDY several years back but this was Rory's and my first time. To sum up our vacation, I will just say it was long overdue! The last vacation we went on was to South Korea and that was an entire year before so we really wanted to take advantage of our stay and decided to spend two weeks and see as many of the islands as we could. So now I've broug...

The Quinn-tessential Life: Making the most of a fun summer!
http://thequinn-tessentiallife.blogspot.com/2012/07/making-most-of-fun-summer.html
Monday, July 23, 2012. Making the most of a fun summer! This has been a great summer for family time and making new friends. We really love our house at Kirtland and the neighbors that surround us. Now the desert feel of New Mexico itself is something that we both still need time to get used to. We both say how we miss cool days where it rains all the time and more especially how green Japan and the east coast are. Grandma Vee Bee with her little grand-fairies. Getting acquainted with the water. But the ...

The Quinn-tessential Life: October 2011
http://thequinn-tessentiallife.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 28, 2011. Before Mike left on his TDY, we got our family photos taken for our Christmas card since he won't back until December. I think they turned out pretty cute even though Rory refused to smile for any of them! Yep, this is our child; ). I wasn't kidding when I said that Rory gets literally swarmed by Japanese people. They just love her! It's too fun ; ). Ok, are you happy now? Lots of pictures right? Here's a picture of our friend Jeanette who came all the way from PNG to visit us!

The Quinn-tessential Life: January 2012
http://thequinn-tessentiallife.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 23, 2012. While you are sleeping. Right now it is snowing outside, actually snowing. With big, fluffy white snow flakes that are trickling ever so delicately onto the sleeping surface. Speaking of sleeping, all is quiet in my house as you, my snoozing baby, lay peacefully on the couch. Every so often you stir during your slumber and move your sweet baby lips. What is her name? How old is she? I'm just proud to be your mama and it's nice to hear other people love you as well. Hi Everyone&#...

The Quinn-tessential Life: August 2011
http://thequinn-tessentiallife.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 25, 2011. Today, my baby is 1 month old! I can't believe how fast the days go by and how much she grows everyday. When she wakes up in the morning, I find myself studying her face to see what changes happened overnight. I love to kiss her sweet cheeks and stroke her soft hair. She is such a blessing and gosh do we love her! Did he not hear me? To which I reply "Oh MY gosh, every time you ask, I'm just going to say NO! I don't have any yen! Well Mike's gone for about ten minutes and while...
