Deployment

One Month Down

December 13, 2009

It’s hard to believe that my husband has been home for just shy of a month. It does not feel like it’s been that long at all!

Reintegration

November 29, 2009

Let the Redeployment begin! Well, sort of.

August 31, 2009

We got our first “re-deployment” email today. And, I have to tell you, it’s kind of crazy.
Don’t get me wrong, I am totally 100% excited that my husband will finally be coming home in just a few short months. And getting the emails with the timeline just make it all that more real. But I [...]

MilSpouse Needs Your Input!

June 18, 2009

This comment showed up over at LeftFace, and is worth being shared.
Says Kristy:
“Since the article ran, I’ve been in contact with the White House, the Secretary of the Army, the office of the Sec. of Defense, Army family program directors and some congressmen and senators. It’s taken me 8 years and an op-ed to get [...]
