  • My teammates on MARS are out of this world! :laugh: And I promise I'll up my pace after that week of almost nothing...

We like the competition—nothing…

Julia (& possibly PanteraGirl, considering the job thing), not a military family, but I did spend 9 months of the first year of my marriage apart from my husband—I was going to school in one state, he was working in…
