Today's Military Monday, spouse highlight is Sarah, the lovely blogger behind the blog Dandelions and Daffodils. Go spend some time with her!
Name and blog site: Sarah, Dandelions and Daffodils
Branch of service: Army
Where currently stationed: Fort Drum, New York
Branch of service: Army
Where currently stationed: Fort Drum, New York
How long have you been there?: Christopher has been stationed here for
almost five years, but I’ve only been here since we got married in April
Favorite restaurant in the area: It’s a tie between Buffalo Wild Wings and Apollo Greek Restaurant. If you go to Apollo be prepared to wait for your meal. They’re really good, but not the fastest in town!
Previous duty stations: Fort Drum in the only Duty Station Christopher has been at. Once he finishes OCS we’ll be reassigned so we’ll see what happens!

3 favorite things to do in your
current city: We love
to go down to Sackets Harbor, about 20 minutes from Fort Drum. It’s a quaint
little town by Lake Ontario with lots of cute stores, restaurants, a comedy
club, and beautiful park. Free outdoor concerts are offered at the park on
Sundays during the summer. Christopher loves going to the movies so he, along
with the majority of the Fort Drum/Watertown population, were thrilled when the
new movie theater opened up this summer. We spent many dates nights there. To
be honest, one of my favorite things to do is go to Joann’s craft store. J A brand new one opened the month after
I arrived in New York and it just thrilled me to bits.
Favorite duty station so
far: Not
that I have a whole lot of other options to pick from…but I do like Fort Drum.
I like going to the Arts and Craft Center and visiting Remington Park (there’s
a pretty lake, woods, and horseback riding in the summer). The surrounding area
is very pretty; it reminds me a lot of Amish country in Pennsylvania. I think a
huge reason I like being at Fort Drum is I’m only half a day’s drive away from
my family. As someone who is very close to my family and never moved until I
got married, I loved being so close. I know this won’t be the case for most of
Christopher’s time in the Army so I treasure it while I have it.
Who is your hero? I am extremely patriotic and have always
said that soldiers are my heroes. So, I guess that means I married my hero.

LOVE this idea! I always like to see what other people think about different duty stations. We were stationed at the same post as another couple who are here at Campbell now and our experiences at the previous post were RADICALLY different!!! Too funny.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blawg. :)
I think it's great that you honor the army wives this way. It's an amazing idea. I got goosebumps when I read that she married her hero. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such an AWESOME series! If you ever want a viewpoint from Okinawa, Japan I'd be more than happy to write something for you!
