My Journey to Embracing the No-Plan Plan
If you ever meet me, you will know in about the first 14 seconds that I am a planner.
Most of the time, that’s a good thing. I get stuff done in the most efficient way possible.
But occasionally, it gets me in a bit of trouble and causes some stress in my life. Especially as milspouse.
The Best Deployment Ever
I bet I know your reaction to my use of “best deployment.” I bet you scoffed or guffawed, saying, there is no such thing.
It’s like saying, “most enjoyable root canal ever” or “greatest day spent at the DMV ever.”
Because let’s be honest, the real “best deployment ever” is probably no deployment at all.
But when you’re married to a service member, we take what we can get. How about we compromise and say that this post is about the second best deployment ever, yes?
100 Ways You Might be A Milspouse
Check out this fun list of 100 ways you might be a milspouse.
Deployments: Beginnings vs. Ends
Deployments are funny things.
They are (of course) very much a challenging part of this military spouse life, and they’re always full of surprises. As I type this, sitting in the Fort Lewis Starbucks, we’re in the homestretch of our latest deployment. (Yes. We see the humorous signs that homecoming is coming!)
Recon Rendezvous: Backward Compliments
Early on in most courtships, compliments flow like honey:
Darling, your eyes sparkle like the stars in the heavens.
Honey, you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.
Sweetheart, your voice is like an angel, and I dream about you every day.
And then we get married.
And we get all militarized.
