I am here for Friends

About Me


Who? Samantha, late 20’s but who’s counting! Happily married to my biggest fan, mom to the 2 cutest boys around.
Where? Ann Arbor, MI...for the next 2 years anyhow. I'm a follower, and have followed Andy here to chilly north (I dont care what anyone says, it's NOT midwest, its NORTH!) where he's a Naval ROTC advisor and Naval Science instructor at the University of Michigan.
What? Eons ago (ok, not THAT far back) I was a livestock nutrition consultant…and you’ll likely see me feeding dairy cows again some day! I do a little computer work from home in both web/print graphics as well as custom photo work (cards, invites, announcements, etc) just to help supplement and make me feel like I’m doing ’something.’ :) I’m very passionate about volunteer work and charity, so sometimes you’ll find me doing things with our officers wives group, as well as trying to contribute to charity events and orgs such as the annual Dolphin auction on our base, St Jude’s via our family’s annual golf tournament, and Heifer International . My family and friends mean the world to me, and my biggest goal is just to be happy and be part of something bigger than myself. I'm currently training to run a half marathon which is challenging, rewarding, and keeps me motivated!
Schools: Southeast Guildford Senior High (graduated 1996); North Carolina State University : major-Animal Science (graduated 2000) ; Iowa State University : Masters of Agriculture (2007-present : inprogress)

Come Run With me!

A wise source (hey Terry!) told me recently that a good way to explore, learn the area and be a bit more positive about it would be to head out with my camera. A photographer I am not, but I took his ...

Ugh, Knee Pain

Ugh, so today was my long run for the week...scheduled for 7 but ended up at 7.6 given that there was no easy even point. It was 31 degrees and icy but not too bad climate-wise. Unfortunately, my knee...

Excitement

I've been feeling pretty down lately. I feel like I have zero purpose other than to be a mom to one kid who doesn't listen or obey me EVER and another who is too young to rebel yet. Being here in M...
