The Reintroduction Introduction!!!

In my creepy sing-songy voice... "I'M BACK"!

So much has happened in the last few months. My life is entirely different now. I felt like my new life wouldn't fit with my old blog. So I had even attempted to start a new one. It wasn't the same for me. The passion and the love that I felt for Come by Chance doesn't compare to anything else I try to write. Come by Chance isn't just a blog for me and its not just my own work of art. It's my expression of who I am.

HOW LUCKY AM I!? Most people search their whole life looking for the heart of who they are. My spirit has been to hell and back. But I have discovered that I am the same me no matter where I go, what I do, who I laugh with, what I cry about. My life is everything that embodies Comes by Chance. And so.... I am here to tell you that I AM BACK with a world of changes nipping at my feet.

Those of you who still check in, Thank you for your loyalty. I am going to do better about consistently  writing... because well... I AM BACK!

My first blog post being back, there will be a few changes... I have a few new characters that have been added to our lives. I remarried a few months ago and now it seems that we have a family that is steadily growing. {Wink wink}

Another upcoming change, I have decided to blog with our real names verses nick names. Perhaps I have been desensitized by frequent internet use (marketing, networking and blogging) But I have rationalized my decision by the fact that we meet strangers every day in real life which logically should be more dangerous, right!? There are many of you that I have met via blog that have become my true and dear life long friends. So this way it will be easier for my new readers to remember all of our names when we become best friends!

The pictures I have posted on my side bar will gradually start to change. I no longer live on the farm. Although I miss the farm so much that it hurts at times, this only means that there must be another one in my future, right!? Woe....now, now lets not get a head of ourselves! Its not going to be anytime soon! BUT what we will be doing while we are currently living the good life in a townhouse, is, well...we will be living the good life in a townhouse! I have already started on our potted garden and I am very excited already by its growth. I will post pictures soon.

I am still fishing, hiking, camping, and playing in the mud when I can. So... some things will just never change....{{Sigh}}

I am  so excited and looking forward to reintroducing you to our lives...

Crap, I just cant wait for another blog post! So without farther adieu...

Our Reintroduction introduction


Welcome to our new lives as an average blended American military family! Follow along as we lasso life by the horns and attempt urban homesteading under extreme conditions (small space, rough climates and constant uprooting). Peek in as I attempt to maintain the social and academic lives of two small children (soon to be 3) while learning the ropes to this whole military life. And by all means watch with us as our townhouse garden grows!!!

This our beautiful and artistic 8 year old daughter Alexandria,

 The handsome and ever so charming 4 year old son named Aubrey,

Both kids are so different with their talents and quirks. They add quite a bit of flavor to our lives! I cant wait to meet our third. No telling what we will be in for!

 Last but not least... I am proud to introduce you to my hero...

 My husband Juan is an Infantry Staff Sergeant in the US Military. But he is my hero for completely different reasons beyond the metals that are pinned to his chest. Quite honestly, there are many reasons I adore my husband, of course I would, that's why I married him! But what makes this man so special... his strongest quality is one of  the most rarest found. He is promise keeper. When he says he is going to do something, he does it. Whether its take out the trash, pass a class or fix something that has me fretting. He is a man of honor, a man of his word and the man I very quickly  fell in love with.


I look forward to sharing our lives with all of you! Thank you for reading.
