Intros

I feel like I am writing this for all of the military spouses out there. My "Intro" is brief and general.

I am a military spouse. I love my service member more than can be put into words. He dresses for work; whether be the Cammie's or the dress uniform, and my heart swells with pride. He loves his country and I share that love and pride of country with him. We both signed a contract. He signed away his life and I signed away my love. He may wear the dog-tags but I wear his heart.

Sometimes, I get lost....not because I don't know where I am going or who I am but because our lives can be such a whirl-wind. Between deployments, TDY's and PCS's it can be hard to remember that I am someone other than any number of hats that I am wearing. (personal assistant, Mommy, cook, tutor, housekeeper, Daddy, friend, lover, mechanic, repairman, lawncare woman, personal assistant). My world can get overwhelmed with whom I am supposed to be for everyone else that you begin to forget who you are for yourself. This is not regrettable but tiring, not out of obligation but out of love.

My husband stands in front of me to protect me, beside me to journey through life with me and behind me for encouragement. As I do also for him.

The following posts will be a chronicle of our life.....Some instances from the past, and some from the present. There may be times that I share the life and struggles of my friends. For the civilians reading, I hope you can gain an understanding of the person that is behind the military member and for the military spouses- I hope you feel a little less alone. :)
