It’s been a while since I’ve written about how life in the Army is going for us. I honestly can’t believe so much time has gone by already. We’ve now been an Army family for over a year – about a year and 2 months. I’ve been completely shocked by some things while totally unfazed by . . . → Read More: The good, the bad and the ugly of Army life

This past weekend, Lovebug and I had the chance to attend a Strong Bonds retreat. It was put on by the Army Chaplaincy and was specifically for spouses & children of deployed soldiers.
