The Next Chapter
I’ve spent some time reflecting upon the life I’ve known for the past 28 years as a new chapter quickly approaches.
For the last 12 of those 28 years, I’ve gone through life with my husband by my side. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that we were both just 16 when we started dating and we’ve come so far down this road together. I didn’t know then that we would be a military family or that we would live in so many places and one day we would start a family together.
Maintaining Christmas Traditions
Change is impossible to avoid in military life. It’s constant in our life, but our family tries maintaining Christmas traditions, especially during the holidays. Our traditions are simple, but our kids make sure that we always remember them. We look forward to them, and I think it provides some continuity in our ever-changing life and world.
Big Family, Small Christmas
Every year we say, “We aren’t going to over do it. Our kids have everything, and way more than most. Let’s have a small Christmas.” Does this sound familiar to you?
And every year, we fail. Some years are worse than others. Ultimately, after the opening of the presents is over, I end up surveying the scene and remarking to myself, “What have we done?!” There were years where the kids opened so much stuff, six months would go by before they even finished unpackaging or playing with something they received.

Should a Military Family Buy a Home?
Military families have major financial decisions to make every two or three years: With every PCS, they need to decide whether they will rent or buy a home. While the U.S. Census shows that the average American homebuyer lives in a home they purchase for roughly 13 years, a military family has likely moved at least four or five times during that same period. With such a high rate of moving, why would any military family ever consider buying a home?
