Welcome! I’m Kelsey Ramirez, a football loving mom to two, fun-loving daughters, elementary teacher, designer and trainer, and informational coordinating Coastie wife.

As I grew up in a military family, I know first hand the sacrifices that spouses and children give for this country.  Who knew that 20 years later, I would stumble into a relationship with a Coastie and eventually marry him.  As the girlfriend and fiance, I was an outsider, as most are.

A college graduate and then new teacher,  I was just trying to deal with my own career and life. I knew I would marry this man, but I did not know all that would completely accompany it.  I dealt with moves, TDY, schools, etc. There was so much to learn and not many resources.  It didn’t come until after we were married that I would receive some more insight.

As a new spouse, I was excited to have a built-in community to teach me, support me, and on those long deployments (long is a relative term for each individual) drink some fruity drinks, eat ice cream, and dance around my living room. What I actually learned is that I found a few friends in our multiple moves who I treasure today that ultimately helped me.
