A Green Perspective on a Navy Life: August 2014
http://agreenperspectiveonanavylife.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Mason Eldridge is TWO! If you were wondering how busy Mason keeps me, his birthday blog post being two weeks late is an indicator of everyday life! It wasn't hard to figure out what to do for Mason's birthday. He loves animals (and tractors) so we celebrated with a day on the farm! There's a petting farm here in Virginia Beach that he lights up whenever he knows we're going, so that's was the perfect way to celebrate two years of Mason Eldridge! There is no shortage of personali...

A Green Perspective on a Navy Life: Eating an Elephant
http://agreenperspectiveonanavylife.blogspot.com/2015/04/eating-elephant.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. So today has been five weeks since I dropped James off at the pier and five weeks is the longest that we've been separated since little Mason came along. Since he left I always thought that once I passed this point it would get harder because.well, this is new territory, right? 30th Birthday in NYC with my girls. Proud of you Mom, this picture was too good not to share :). You take a guess. While I wish James were here, I am so thankful for all the support I've gotten from all of ...

A Green Perspective on a Navy Life: July 2014
http://agreenperspectiveonanavylife.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 24, 2014. My Gingersnap and Closing in on Two. Whether or not she'll be a redhead like her mom is yet to be determined, but nonetheless she's still my little Gingersnap. Annie was amazing all through labor and delivery, Will was, of course, by her side and sending the greatest text updates as Sophie was delivered via C-Section. "She's here! Then the first picture of her that melted my heart. (I still haven't deleted the group text between the family, it. Family selfie from the waiting room!

A Green Perspective on a Navy Life: My Favorite Couple and National Adoption Awareness Month
http://agreenperspectiveonanavylife.blogspot.com/2013/11/my-favorite-couple-and-national.html
Monday, November 18, 2013. My Favorite Couple and National Adoption Awareness Month. If you know me personally, you know my sister and I are very close. Not in the "Oh we're sisters, of course we're close" kind of way, but the text at least once a day, catch up once (or three) times a. One year ago they entered the open adoption process. Our family couldn't have been more excited and we rallied around Annie and Will. I thought so too. So check out Annie and Will's Facebook page. Posted by Julie Green.

A Green Perspective on a Navy Life: On the Eve of Change...and Getting Old.
http://agreenperspectiveonanavylife.blogspot.com/2015/03/on-eve-of-changeand-getting-old.html
Thursday, March 5, 2015. On the Eve of Change.and Getting Old. Their perfect isn't your perfect. Just because something else makes someone happy doesn't mean it has to look like that for you. And by the way, perfect is a dangerous word. Marriage is hard, and so much better than I ever thought it would be. But really, its hard. Marry your best friend, then you get to go through the hard stuff with someone who makes you laugh. Spend extra money for quality shoes. Trust me. We had an amazing weekend last we...

A Green Perspective on a Navy Life: Shifting Gears
http://agreenperspectiveonanavylife.blogspot.com/2014/12/shifting-gears.html
Monday, December 15, 2014. While James was gone Mason and I started a battle over who was going to put his socks on. After fighting him for a few seconds and trying to reason with him, I let go of the sock and handed it to him. After 2 minutes, he looked at me with so much pride, sock on but upside down and said "I did it! He was SO happy. He kept exclaiming "I'm a big boy! I wanted to share a sneak peek of some of the amazing moments our friends at Vinluan Photography. Thanks as always for following alo...

A Green Perspective on a Navy Life: Toasting Our New 2nd Class & Pirate Nation
http://agreenperspectiveonanavylife.blogspot.com/2014/11/toasting-our-new-2nd-class-pirate-nation.html
Monday, November 24, 2014. Toasting Our New 2nd Class and Pirate Nation. The most accurate shirt. Ever. Pause for some background. James is is one of the HARDEST rates in the Navy to make rank or advance. Seriously, he's been a third class for 3 years. After deciding not to put his packet in for Officer Candidate School and stay in Electronics (his passion) we knew this was going. Would you still re-enlist? And without missing a beat, he replied "Absolutely.". How did we celebrate? And shock, Papa brough...

Monday, January 5, 2015. We'll Take A Cup of Kindness, 2015. I am rooted, but I flow" Virginia Woolf. Probably the biggest lesson that I learned is that I'm nowhere close to being who I am supposed to be. I'm a work in progress and don't really need to have it all figured out. Who does? It hasn't just been a great year for our threesome. We've had some incredible blessings come to our. Dad and Laura got married in June and our family grew even more. Mason adores his LaLa and seeing my Dad so happy ha...
