1. How did you and your spouse/significant other meet?We met during our junior year of high school at a mutual friend's going-away party. The rest, as they say, is history. Not really, but its a super long story and a post for another day.
2. What is the best thing about being a MilSpouse?
The friends I have met all over the country. We have moved 4 times in the past 3 years and I honestly wouldn't change that for the world, because with each move I met a new life-changing friend. Secondly, but just as important: the pride that I have in my husband and what he does. The guaranteed paycheck doesn't hurt either. ;)
3. What is the hardest thing about being a MilSpouse?
Moving. Deployments. Being far from "home." Not having control over anything. Never being able to make definite plans.
4. What is your favorite dish?
Usually, fajitas are my go-to dish. I make them at home, I order them when we go out. I love them. Well, today I would have to say something with massive amounts of carbs. I'm really missing the paleo diet's lack of bread and pasta today.
5. If you could change one thing in this world, what would it be?
I want people in general to be more aware. I think our generation tends to walk around with either their head in the clouds or the sand. To me it seems as if the world is going to hell in a handbasket and no one cares! Oil has been leaking into our oceans for 67 days. Afghanistan has officially become the U.S.'s longest war. We have surpassed the 4,000 mark for U.S. casualties in Iraq and 1,000 in Afghanistan. We continue to pollute our air, water and land. For what? Wake up people! Take the earbuds out of your ears and look around you. This is not going to be here forever!
Wow. Small rant there. I just think there is so much change that we're capable of that people need a wake-up call to start doing something about it! Use a cloth grocery bag. Buy local. Walk to work.
**I forgot to link back to Wife of a Sailor, so I'm adding the link now!
