Happy Military Appreciation Day!!!

I totally forgot that today was Military Spouse Appreciation Day. While standing beside a soldier is nothing compared to what our service members endure. It in itself is very important. In eleven years I've met so many amazing people. My sisters in heart are some of the strongest women I've met. We juggle roles of both parents, we can change tires, fix anything broken, cook a freezer meal for another family with a newborn in an ergo with two other kiddos doing homework (yes I've mastered that ha!), and spend sleepiness nights hoping that our love is safe while protecting our freedoms. I could go on and on. We aren't heroes. We are just every day people who love and stand by our spouse. It's important to remember the families behind the service member. We serve in a much different but just as important way. Many of us put our career aspirations and lives on hold to support our service member.

To my amazing fellow Army Wives. We have been through so much together. Thank you for being the family God gave to me.

We are all appreciated and you should give yourself a pat on the back. We are amazing and strong. I hope today is a beautiful day. I am blessed to roll with the best. We are made of some incredible stuff.
