I’m the Luckiest Woman Alive

I’m the Luckiest Woman Alive

Exactly two weeks ago today, I was frantically fixing my hair, worried about shaving my legs for the first time in weeks, making sure our house was perfect, cleaning the van, packing the van, and hanging signs at 10 a.m.

Less than two hours later, our service member would return home!

It’s crazy. I started to think yesterday that, if he were home on R&R, he would be heading back in just four days. Boy, am I glad he’s not on leave!

Please Let This Be My Last First Kiss

Please Let This Be My Last First Kiss

Recently, I was reading a magazine when an article about the last first kiss really resonated with me.

In the essay, the author was recounting her love story (which, if you recall, I love hearing those). At one point, she mentions that when she met the man she knew would be her husband, she then knew that their first kiss would be her last first kiss. My heart was nearly full of the romantic notion of it all—how exquisite to know, to be aware that you are in the middle of your last first kiss.

Of course, being a military wife, I have to put my own spin on it.

Is it Easier to Leave or Be Left?

Is it Easier to Leave or Be Left?

Deployments come faster and faster. Home, away, home again, and away again. I knew I couldn’t be the only one wondering if it’s really harder to be the one leaving or the one who is being left.

I began a mission to find out.

When I asked service members and their spouses which is harder, leaving or being left, the majority of them seem to agree—it’s easier to leave.

The Writing On The Wall

As I go about my day, I find comfort in my home, for my home is a connection to my husband. Yes, it is where my computer is, so I have my literal connection to my husband, but just as important are all the memories and reminders of him—us—that fill its walls and surround me.
