Abigail has been married to her college sweetheart, an active-duty Army soldier, for 3 years. They currently are stationed in upstate New York with their 1-year-old son. Abigail grew up in Nebraska (ironically enough for this ocean girl at heart, NE is the only triple land-locked state), but since their marriage, has lived in Arizona, Virginia, and now New York. She is a stay-at-home mom, passionate about her faith, family and friends. She enjoys reading, baking, drinking coffee, photography, thrifting, and would love to live near the ocean someday. Abigail is passionate about being present where she is, wherever that may be. She loves to research and make a list of interesting things to do in the area they currently call home. This list lives on the wall in the hallway, and the highlight of her week is their “Saturday Adventures” where they try to check somewhere off the list as a family each weekend. Their favorite places to visit are the National Park System sites! As a military spouse, Abigail loves to help build into her community through attending PWOC, and her dream is to encourage military families everywhere to embrace where they are called to be.

Hey there, I’m Katie! We’re living the aloha life on O’ahu, Hawaii, where we’ve been for almost 3 years now. I love being at the beach, watching British crime dramas while I fold clothes, chatting in the alley as my kids play with friends, and planning trips around the islands with my family. We’re embracing our historic base home for the unique opportunities it provides, and learning all we can about the history of the Hawaiian people. I am the mom to 4 elementary school aged kids, and wife to an Air Force guy who just can’t retire even after 20 years.
