Stop, Look Around, and Enjoy The Life You Have

Just recently after I found out my husband was deploying in the future, I realized that we take this precious life for granted sometimes. Sometimes we get so caught up with bills, work, school, cleaning, etc,. and we forget that we're actually in that moment living a beautiful life. 

When I was younger, I was always so busy with school, sports, studying, work, and life at home and I never really got to enjoy life as a teenager. Now that I'm married to a magnificent man that risks his life for all of us its made me realize to appreciate what we have in the moment. I find it sad how we mostly tend to appreciate things more in a time of fear or apprehension.

I want to be able to live my life to the fullest, but it can be so hard sometimes. Honestly, I've never been this happy in my life so I don't see how it can be so hard. I just want to let go and run with the wind. 

Just. Let. Go. And. LIVE.

 If there's one thing in life that I'm absolutely grateful, its Love. And with this Love we can learn to smile for those beautiful moments in life.

Has anyone else felt this way? How suddenly you just become so appreciative because of something that may not turn out the way you want?

Tobacco Addictions Aren't That Pleasant If You Ask Me

I grew up around family that doesn't smoke whatsoever, so being married to a man that's completely addicted to chewing it drives me nuts! The only good thing about his addiction is that he doesn't poison everyone else versus people that DO smoke.

I know most men in the army have an addiction to tobacco and who's to judge them when that's one of their methods of relaxation? But it really does bother me a lot! What do you ladies think about it? Let me hear some opinions :)

A Short Bio of Myself! :)

First, my name is Arlene Tucker and I'm 20 years old. I come from a family of 5 kids, with me being the oldest. I'm like a second mother to my brothers and they are a complete joy to have in my life. My beautiful mother raised me to have strong morals, to be an independent woman, and to show love and compassion towards other people. With that being said, I'm pretty well rounded and have quite a few skills that I'd love to share.

 I currently live in Mililani Town, Hawaii. I recently got married to my amazing husband, James Tucker, on August 17th of this year. I met him when he already had his PCS orders to Schofield Barracks, Hawaii and so I still thought he was a great guy so I have him a shot! A few months later we got married and he went off to Hawaii before me. I spent some time in my hometown, El Paso, Texas, and then went to visit some friends in San Diego, California meanwhile my hubby got things settled  in Hawaii.

Once James gave me the go to order my plane ticket, I was completely ecstatic! I've always lived in Texas and didn't know anything outside of that, so I was a little nervous but nonetheless excited to move to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. As soon as I arrived, my husband was waiting for me at the airport and it was great to be in his arms again :) Settling in Hawaii has been a little tough for me as I'm a stay at home wife with no car or no new friends. I'm used to knowing a lot of people around me and living here for the past month has been a little difficult so I've decided to hopefully make new friends on this blog (Hopefully other wives that have stationed spouses at Schofield too)

Being a young married wife can attract a lot of negative remarks and comments so I hope this blog to be able to catch young couples' attentions in terms of pretty much everything! Recipes, DIY, budgets, healthy lifestyle, recipes, enthralling stories, anything :)
