Celebrating Military Miracle Moments

by | Jan 21, 2015 | , ,

If you’ve been a military spouse for at least a few days, you probably know that this life is a little unpredictable. Somedays, it makes us happier than a 5-year-old at Christmas, then a few moments later, we crumble into big, smoldering pile of ugly-crying heartbreak. It can be exhausting, I tell you. In my personal journey as the spouse of my beloved infantryman, my emotions have stretched from enthusiastic optimistic to Debbie-Downer pessimistic of epic proportions.

A little more than two years ago, shortly after adopting a child and shortly after my husband left for his third deployment (and yes, those two things did unfortunately happen within weeks of each other), we got this crazy idea that I should go back to school. Registered nurses are always in need, but the demand for nurse practitioners was rapidly rising and would create a lot more opportunity and choices in our family’s future. Plus, we’ve got five kids to put through college!

The Loss We Feel

The Loss We Feel

by | Dec 4, 2014 | , ,

Yesterday marks three years. I remember it as I do every other unforgettable annual event. Except, days before this anniversary, I begin to reflect and remember. I re-feel the events as I remember them. I feel the fear, then the relief, then the sorrow and loss.
