- Bio
- I'm a 30-something native midwesterner who's lived in the south for most of my adulthood. Currently I live in Savannah, Georgia, and teach high school English at a public school near a large military installation. My boyfriend, an Army officer, is currently deployed to Iraq. This blog is my journal about my experiences during his time away.
