I spent thirty years as the spouse of a USN Submariner and the parent of four amazing children. I have also have a Masters degree in Education and I am working on a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have spent the last twenty eight years working with children across the military and civilian sector. This blog follows part of our journey as a US Navy family and moves with us to civilian life. My experiences have taught me a lot about marriage, parenting and friendship.
The Family

Monday, September 3, 2012
So here is a picture of my freshman and senior at Guam High School. A year ago this photo with these uniforms would not have been something we imagined. But it is what it is and I have to say I am proud of them. They both dug in and got plugged into the school and community, making the best of the situation. When we first got here they told Becaa she would not be able to be a Senior because she lacked credits. Since then they have made arrangements for her to complete one class online and then she will be an eligible senior. She graduates June 7, 2013. She jumped in and made friends, tried out for the cheerleading team and made it. She is still missing her friends and her senior year as a Na'Alii, but she is mature enough to know you have to make the best of every situation!
Zachary jumped in and is now nicknamed the Governor at the Teen Center and is part of the football program. I say part of because there is no Junior Varsity and he is too small to play Varsity. So the coach has made him a trainer and he works out with the team and supports the coaches. Again, not the best of situations but he has accepted that it is what it is and is making the best of it.
Wondering how many adults need to adapt my children's life skills and make the best of every situation? I'm just saying!
