Thankful Monday
That we found out where we will be PCSing to this summer
That we only have three months left here in Idaho
That we have a family that is there to help us buy a house in Ohio when we can not be there
For the spouses I have met through the 726th Hardrock Spouses Club
That I was able to spend Mothers Day with both of my boys yesterday!
This past week has really been a good one. We finally were told where we will be moving too which is a huge relief. We have family already out looking at houses for us to buy and I got to spend Mothers Day with my two favorite boys. We take a lot for granted really. A Mothers day or Birthday or holiday is just another holiday to us. Unless you are a military family that is. Being a military wife, I am blessed to get to spend any holiday with M. Our first year married M was deployed for Halloween ( no biggy) Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentines Day. This year he will be gone for Fathers Day, and both of our Birthdays. Although it really is not that big of a deal, it does help you cherish the ones you do get to spend together, like Mothers Day this year, Or even our Anniversary!! He will be home 2 days before it!
A little advice for you newer Wives, you may already know this, but cherish every single moment, ever birthday, ever holiday everything. I know many spouses who have spend only one Christmas, or one birthday or one Thanksgiving with their husband, of 10+ years, only a few times. You do not know if next Christmas he will be Deployed, or Even Thanksgiving when it is just a month away.
As we all have read before: Live like he Deploys Tomorrow
