10 things I love about the military

Ten things I love about the Military
1. The way my husband looks in that uniform, not just that he is hot because he is. But the way I see the pride in his eyes when he has on his uniform.
2. The support, I never worry that we will go hungry, we will always have a income to support our family.
3. I love how no matter where you live army wives are like sisters, it does not matter if they are a navy or marine or army wive you know they understand what life is really like
4. I love the insurance, after having several high risk pregnancies and then a preemie who spent 6 weeks in the hospital that insurance has more to me than I can explain
5. The opportunities. I do not think I would have ever been able to visit other countries if we were not in the Army.
6. I love that the military allows us things like being able to use USAA, I have never seen better customer service. I do not worry about my money, I do not worry about my insurance coverage .
7. I love the army because well honest it has helped me grow closer to the Lord, I am daily reminded where to get my strength from and where to look for it at.
8. I love the Army because it has made my marriage stronger, it has forced me to become my husbands best friend. To lean on him because he is the one person who will never change in my life.
9. I love the military because it is teaching me to raise strong children who understand change and life.
10. I love the military for the freedom it gives me, the freedom to have as many children as I want, the freedom to home school my children, to shout to the world WE SERVE A RISEN SAVIOUR AND HE CAN GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED AND SO MUCH MORE

I have really enjoyed this blog carnival and met some amazing military wives. It has been such a encouragement to see that others have had the same struggles and the same blessings that our military family has. Please check out there blog to see about all the things they offer to military families.

Wives of Hope

Day ones question, tell about your first military experience. Let's see should I tell you about how I cut my hero's hair before inspection and well let's just say he will never let me do that again. Nope, I think I will tell you how the army messed up our pay and we were staying in the army lodging and I was pragnant. We had just found out we were pragnant. Somehow the hotel employees found out (we told anyone who would listen). Someone from ACS came over everyday and spoke to all the new people staying in the hotel. When they found out we were pragnant they told us about some program that gave new parents either a car seat or a high chair. We chose the car seat. I remember thinking man the army really does take care of you. Which is comical because at the time the only thing we were eating was peanut butter sandwhiches because we had NO money and that is what we could buy using my husbands STAR card. What was it called then?
