Today marks Veterans Day, a day to remember our fallen soldiers, the soldiers that have served, and the soldiers that are currently serving. The military life defiantly is not the easiest one. You have to make every second count with your soldier, because unfortunately you are not given much of it. When Charlie finished college he was sent straight to flight school, and then to our first real duty station Hawaii. I have been lucky enough to go on this journey with him as we learn what military life truly is.
Military life is challenging to say the least. You rarely stay in one place very long, you can go months to years with out seeing your spouse, and you are away from family and friends. Along with these challenges military life is also very rewarding. You get to travel the world, know that your spouse is fighting for our freedom, and you get to meet amazing people and create a military family. With every challenge comes a greater reward. Life is what you make of it, especially a military life. So remember to cherish the moments you have with your spouse, enjoy where the lord sends you, seek refuge in new friendships, and always make the best out of every situation.
I am beyond honored to be able to stand by my husband Charlie as he fights for his country, and help lead him to complete his mission. I could not be more proud of the amazing man he is and the inspiring sacrifice he makes. I would also like to think all the other men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom. Thank you for all you do, you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Another big thank you to all the military spouses who unfortunately have it hardest of all. You stay behind and take care of everything at home so your spouse can do their job. You are all absolutely AMAZING for what you do. It takes powerful women and men to be able to be a military spouse, and I can defiantly say I have met many of them. Know your dedication does not go unnoticed and you will always be a hero.
Happy Veterans Day my friends
