My soldier and I have been dating for more than two years now, with more than a year spent apart. While we did have a good chunk of time together before diving headfirst into a long distance relationship, we are constantly learning things about each other.
Ah, spring! When a young man’s fancy turns lightly to thoughts of love, and my thoughts turn to where I can get the best deal on Murphy’s Oil Soap bought by the gallon.
Yes, it is time for spring cleaning, the quaint tradition of cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, or washing every single item in the house.
The dreaded sequester (we’ve been calling it the “s-word” in the Army Wife Network Core Team) has hit. The axe has fallen. But, has the sky?
Spring is traditionally a time of renewal: New life, a new start…
…and spring cleaning.
This month at Army Wife Network, we’re talking about spring cleaning for your military life. From DIY projects, to cleaning tips for the home, to living a “greener” life.
Are you the kind of person who cringes when given advice?
I used to be that person. When I was 17.
Since then, I’ve learned that there comes a point in time when a bit of well-meaning advice can go a long way in making life a little bit smoother. This is especially true when dealing with the complexities of military life
As my husband’s unit prepares for their upcoming deployment, I am a hot mess of mixed emotions: fear, guilt, pride, sadness, happiness, residual anxiety from his last deployment, and most of all, relief.
Yes, relief.
You see, my husband was honorably discharged from service about four months ago, just as his unit was starting deployment preparations.
