Sometimes I sit back and remember the days when I lived at home. Down an old dirt road, back in the woods. Our house sat beside a little creek where we fished and went swimming during the summer.
My Daddy always had a garden that he started in the Spring; where we'd pick fresh veggies and spend countless hours together.
I used to tell him that I would build a house along side the creek and we would open up a shop where we would sell the rockers that he built.(They're amazing by the way!!!) I used to promise him that I'd never leave our little "Emory Cove." But...
Then I grew up.
I went and joined the Air Force and for 2 years worked for the government.
Eventually I met Mike and now I couldn't be anymore happier. I ended up getting out of the Air Force because I was pregnant. I couldn't bear the thought of deploying and leaving my babies at home. Even though I had a blast when I was in Kuwait...
I remember the faces of the parents when I was in Kuwait. They were always so heart broken.
So when Mike and I found out we were pregnant, we both agreed that I would separate.
So...now I am a
"Military Spouse" and a "Stay at Home Moma" to two beautiful twin girls.
I wake up everyday knowing that my husband will always have a job. I now have the fear that he will be sent away for 3-6 months at a time and I will be here alone with my girls.
But...it comes with the job.
All I can say is..at least I've been on both sides of the fence.
So..now that you know a little about me (which there is more that I could share);

I bet your time in the Air Force, brief thought it might have been, gives you an interesting perspective on being a military spouse. Your daughters are darling, too! :-)

WOW!! I had no idea you were in the military!! That's cool though. I know you're thrilled to be a stay at home mommy now!

ReplyDeleteHopping in from the blog hop. Your daughters are dollfaces! Seriously! I have so much respect for women who have served our military and mothers of multiples! My SIL just became a mom to twins early March. I know how tough it was to handle one baby alone, I can only imagine how it would be with two! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
