There Is Room For All Spouses At The Table
When we enter military life, the majority of us are truly clueless about the day-to-day lifestyle we (as people say) “signed up” for. However, what is even more clueless to me is the at times lack of camaraderie and inclusion at times not found among spouses. Not just...
The Right Time for Resilience
What if someone offered to make you a stronger, more resilient person before you took off for that new duty station? What if you had the opportunity to participate in a program that could help you with problem solving and maintaining a positive outlook at whatever life (and the chaos of a move with kids and pets) can throw at you? A little resilience can help.
Take a minute and think about the PCS checklist you have at this time of year.
Happy 243rd Birthday, Army!
On June 14th, 2018, the United States Army officially turns 243 years old. And what a history it has.
This year’s theme is “Over There: A celebration of Army heroes from World War I to present day.” Since the beginning of WWI in 1914, the Army has deployed soldiers to support missions in multiple wars and conflicts in numerous countries across multiple continents.
Happy Birthday, Army: Thanks for Bringing Us Together!
During college, one of my friends always had the best birthday celebrations. I remember how I thought his birthday was my favorite birthday (even more than my own!) because it was always such a good time.
Thinking over why this might be, it can of course be attributed, in part, to the friend we were celebrating, but my bigger reason for always loving his birthday best was because it brought people together. It never failed, we all wanted to be there having a great time when it was this guy’s birthday.
Recon Rendezvous: A Little Milspouse Fun
It’s no secret that I’m a rather outgoing gal. I’m an extrovert to the core and energized by being with people. I’m not afraid to try new things and tackle a new adventure, which probably makes being a milspouse a solid fit for me.
So, with this personality set up, one might think that “having fun” comes naturally. Surely I’m the life of the party and always looking to add fun to my everyday, right?
Four Little Words
I know, I know, we’re supposed to be tough, get up, quit complaining. We have so much to be thankful for, right? We’re military spouses, we know the drill. But sometimes things get real. Not that the optimistic side of me isn’t real, because it’s me most of the time. Every now and again, however, those four little words creep out of the dark into my head.
Check for These Items in Your Rental Agreement
Who loves reading rental agreement leases?
No one. Why should they? All the unintelligible legalese, lengthy stipulations, and scary sounding security deposit ramifications are very intimidating and no one’s idea of fun. This is why renters tend to glance it over only because we know we should, but ultimately don’t read each and every word.
