Being married to the military is exciting, terrifying, exhausting and stressful. It is also quite a privilege. My Dad was completely right. Only certain people are cut out for it. I was thinking the other night, about things in my life that are "normal" that in the civilian world are not. Here are a few of them...
-I have fallen asleep many a night to the sound of artillery booming in the distance
-I have passed convoys of humvees while on my way to the grocery store
-I move every 3 years or so
-I need to show ID to get to my home
-When my husband goes on "business trips" he can be gone for months
-On these "business trips", I have heard live gunfire while on the phone with him
-My husband can't always come home and tell me what happened at work
-My husband gets up some mornings and practices hand to hand combat
-I see and hear military aircrafts flying overhead quite often
-Near my house, there is a motor pool and barracks
-in your neighborhood, are there street signs that say "Stryker Dismount Point"??
It is an interesting life, that is for sure.
