Another epic visit from cherished army friends @wendygade @annagrace.elizabeth ...thanks for making the trip over the pond to see us—and, not a drop of rain the whole week! #wales #skomerisland #tenby #caldeyisland #stonehenge #catbnb #facemassage
This person. Just when I was tucking into my full plate of four kids, she burst onto our scene. (We were both kicking and screaming.). But the edges have softened. She’ll consent to ride in a car now, and I am humbled by what I see blooming here. Peanut butter faced, she picked me a the sweetest minibouquet💐 on Sunday —unbeknownst to her, Mother’s Day. I couldn’t let the moment pass, Somehow it was fitting. It’s the little things. #bestgiftever #babiesdontkeep #fivekids 😳#familyofseven
The time we owned two #landrovers. We moved up to a 12-pax vehicle and I am okay with it. #momcar #retailtherapy #defender
I’ll be honest—living abroad in a remote duty location has had its tremendous challenges, making visits with old friends far sweeter than I could have imagined. @stephanie_pensofgrace gets it even more than I do—they are living in a non-English speaking country. 😶Thanks for making us a part of your UK 🇬🇧 visit! It meant so much.
See the line where the sky meets the sea? I don’t want to talk about it. Too soon/Not soon enough...I am literally afraid of how much I loved it—I binged on the sun, purposely TRIED to burn, and I enjoyed the pain because I could feel the radiation for days beyond. Neurotic? Yeah prob. Ill just be up here in England withdrawing 😑#costadelsol #somuchsol #seaglassfordays #marbella
Army kids in pics with the Barbary apes in Gibraltar ✅. You know what? We have enough kids to worry about not falling off the 1400-foot cliffs without dealing with 30 maniac apes running circles around us, unzipping our backpacks and throwing all our jackets on the ground, flying out of the trees and landing on our heads. But we all survived. Quite an outing, not for the faint of heart/families with more kids than two grown adults can protect from the repeated monkey uprisings. so beautiful and incredible to see Morocco 🇲🇦 also, maybe the best meal we have eaten in **Europe** Indonesian hole in the wall (rock noodles)
La Alhambra—😍 it was something else. I could not believe the intricacies, how the artists devoted their livelihoods to it, to something so much bigger than themselves. I love love loved the middle eastern architecture—it was like we were teleported elsewhere for a day. ❤️ Also the churros & chocolate—perfect cap off!
Incredible day in Ronda 🇪🇸 Spain, so many layers of human civilization—Roman/Arab/Christian, iPhone photos don’t even come close to capturing it #ronda
My sister’s debut novel came out YESTERDAY—GO buy it! Beyond the Point is a heartfelt look at how our closest friends can become our fiercest battle buddies. After all, the greatest battles we fight rarely require a uniform.
She’s been working on this for the past six years, it’s a novel based on all true events, and (many of you know these 3 women IRL). There are plenty of books with the “Band Of Brothers” theme—this is an epic about a real-life Band of Sisters.
Duty, Honor, Country, and unbreakable ties friendship: This is a healthy women’s story in the face of “it’s all about ME” feminism. You will be stronger after reading this.
When you see it in B&N or Target, buy it in support of strong women, both the women in the story and those who are working to make these stories public!
So proud of you Claire Gibson!! #beyondthepoint #beyondthepointbook #westpoint #westpointwomen @clairecgibson @dmcphatter
My new best friend. 😍 I love a home that is gathered. This was such a fun find, England has the most heart-stopping antique shops...definitely taking advantage of it while I can. This is a work of art—layers of paint peeled back revealing a dynamic and complicated piece—one that’s seen a lot of seasons. I identify. #rajasthanfurniture #antiques #patina #fadandfated #fadandfatedvintagefleamarket
West Point Founders day dinner in London—this was our only pic together 😔—I was so distracted by the astounding venue!
I went back. Rested, reunited, reflected, remembered. Countless experiences that shaped me. So many people who’ve given *everything* to make this place possible. #beatnavy #beyondthepoint #beyondthepointbook
No place like home ✨🇺🇸✨🗽✨
Americans tend to prefer their roasts **sans-hair** It’s taking me so long...so, so, long to assimilate. #kirklandsignature #pork #leghairdontcare
Spontaneous whirlwind trip to #Skomerisland Wales 🏴 to see the remaining puffins— not many left but enough to make the trip ✨amazing✨ and worth the money 💷. #birdwatching ain’t easy or cheap. Never thought I’d be living the bird 🦅 watch life 😬😳 (Georgia made things awkward for us, and whoops—sorry to all the birding people who were hoping for a lot less noise from the audience...) #Skomerisland #skomer
