It doesn't add up

I’ve tried to shy away from politics here and this isn’t really a political thing… simply a military thing.

Lesson Hard Learned

I married my best friend six and half years ago.  I had no idea how our lives would turn out, I just knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life being his partner and strongest supporter.  Life as a military wife is a difficult one on so many levels, but it is [...]
