Gay men and women are now allowed to serve beside my husband. The DOD now considers their partners to be my equal in the world of military spouses.
Sorry if I offend you, but, it sounds good to me.

You and Me
The Dave Matthews Band, 2009
Today became my long run day. Normally, I have short runs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Fridays or Saturdays I complete my long, training runs. But today, I woke up sick and tired. I didn't want to go to the gym and run, let alone workout with the trainer. My sweet soldier had given me a pass to take it easy today, but apparently, I was unwilling to accept it.

Happy February everyone!
I am happy to report that we officially have new orders! We’re off to Jacksonville, North Carolina.

Ladies, you have had it easy.
In recent years, military families have become accustomed to discounts, freebies and over the top help from the community. Dare I say it, we are spoiled.

Everyday
The Dave Matthews Band, 2001
"Run away from something or run toward something. Just keep running."
That was my status on Facebook one day. It is still cold here in Kansas so I am doing all of my running in the gym, on the treadmill. It is not fun but I am logging the miles. I have signed up for my first half marathon of the year, and it is 11 weeks (gulp) away.

I’ve been fighting it for a while.
And then, at one of those lazy, stay-in-pajamas Saturday breakfasts, my husband said it.
“I really hope the baby comes soon. I want to get as much time with her as possible.”
Crash. My husband just brought our idyllic, eggs-and-bacon morning down around my very pregnant head.

Are you being medically retired? Do you feel like you’re being tossed to the curb? Me too.

It doesn’t matter if your husband fought in Vietnam or Iraq. It doesn’t matter if you served 20 years as a military spouse or five. You get it.

If I Didn't Have You
Thompson Square, 2012
While roaming Facebook one day, I saw a picture. It was one of those motivational posters that read, "You never forget the friends you make when you go to war." It depicted soldiers in a desert setting and I understood what it meant.
