I have been married to the military for almost 10 years. And in those 10 long and lovely years, there is only one thing that I can tell you with 100% certainty – and that is military life is HARD.
At times, this life is hard, lonely, and 10 times more difficult than it has to be. But it’s also beautiful and awesome and full of moments so happy they make you cry with pure, unadulterated joy.
