While Halloween is not my favorite holiday of the year, it is one that I always look forward to, as it marks the start of the holiday season.

Thanksgiving is a little more than three weeks away, and Christmas will soon follow.
Field Problem: Military Spouse Employment
Dear, Field Problems:
I am a new Army spouse, and I want to fulfill my career aspirations. We will go to our post in a couple of months. Do you suggest that military spouses look for a job before they get to their installations? Are there programs (on- or off-post) that help spouses find employment?

Holiday Thoughts Already?
This past week, we reached the six-month mark of this deployment. We’re halfway to the finish! Halfway to Daddy being home. Halfway to feeling his arms wrapped around me again. Halfway to not solo-parenting anymore!
We’ve reached six months with only a few bumps along the way, and I’m incredibly impressed and amazed that we are actually here.

Field Problem: Change of Command Reception
Dear, Field Problems:
My service member is set to take company command this November. I was hoping you’d have some tips for the reception. How much should we spend? Where should we have it? What should we serve? Also, do I do the invitations for him? Help!
