I’m glad I wasn’t a young military spouse
Happy MilSpouse Monday friends!Last week I took on a fairly controversial topic and wrote about my feelings on Service and Sacrifice as they apply to us as military spouses.

A Crash Course on Making Friends as a MilSpouse
Making friends.  It’s something we all know we want to do.  But actually doing it is another thing entirely.  Like I talked about last week, it seems to be so easy and come so naturally when you are young.  Then you enter the grown-up world and it’s suddenly not so easy.  Add in the military spouse […]
Hey MilSpouse…making friends is worth it! Promise
Making new friends as an adult pretty much sucks. In high school and college you are pushed into new situations with a bunch of other people that are new too. Then you go to class, clubs, and sporting events and just meet people as you go. Suddenly they are your best friends and you can’t […]
The Five Goals I’m Setting in 2019 To Take Charge of My Life
Goals are some of my favorite things and one of the best ways I keep myself motivated. 2018 was far from my best year and I felt like the majority of the year was spent waiting on things that were out of my control. Then suddenly nothing was in my control and I pretty much […]
