Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Some people say that there can be “too much of a good thing.”
I *might* agree with this statement if talking about rich cheeses, excessive exercise or Netflix binge watching.
But I just can’t agree that there is ever such a “thing” as too much military spouse pride.
You might remember that last month I shared the first installment of our series “Reasons from Milspouse Pride.”
As promised, today we share Part 2…. Brought to the generous and loving hearts of military spouses and viewers like you.
Read on to see more ways that…
“I am proud to be a military spouse when I can smell the dirt from the field as he walks through the door because that means we both survived another round of training.” ~Lacey R.
“I am a proud military spouse when my husband is thanked for his service. It doesn’t happen much because we live in a very military saturated place.” ~Lisa H.
“I’m proud to be a military spouse when I see my husband in his dress uniform. He wore his blues at our wedding in 1994, and it always makes me happy and proud to see him in them again. He’s been through a lot in his career, and each of those ribbons and pins shows how much he loves being a soldier and serving his country. And he looks so handsome in his blues, too!” ~Christie P.
“I was the proudest military wife when I seen my husband walking down the airport corridor at the end of his deployment and could see the look on his face, meeting his son for the first time.” ~Nikki H.
Dear readers…there is MUCH more where this came from! (And did we mention this post also includes a link-up and easy-t0-enter giveaway?) Swing by Army Wife Network to tap into some more milspouse pride and enter to win!
Thanks for your support… And stay tuned for our final installment of Milspouse Pride (with giveaways) on the first of next month!
Proud in so many ways,
I have a confession to make. (You didn’t know this post was going to get so juicy so fast, huh? You are welcome.)
Sometimes, in the day-to-day shenanigans that IS army wife life, I forget about the pride the comes with this calling.
And I don’t mean pride like, “Look at me, I am so awesome” pride… More like, “Wow. My spouse is the bomb dot com. This life can be hard but I sure am PROUD of what he is doing for our country/world/family.”
Maybe, hypothetically, kinda-sorta you find yourself sometimes forgetting the pride-part of this milspouse ride. [Read more…]
