The Joys of Being an Army Wife

I saw a saw a list of these online today and had a good laugh, there are tons but I picked out a few of my favorites that really hit close to home today

You know you're an Army wife when...
...you know that a 4 month separation IS short, no matter what your civilian friends say
...you only write in pencil because everything is subject to change
...you are referred to as Household6 and know what it means
... you can read a packing list better than he can, you can probably pack it faster too
...you curse the invention of velcro because several pairs of your best underwear were ‘accidently’ thrown into the washer with his uniforms and have now become imbedded as part of the camoflage
...you celebrate your wedding anniversary with a 5 minute phone call
...you watch the nightly news for while holding your breath, knowing it affects your loved one
...you defend your lifestyle no matter how bad things get because you know there's no other life for you!

I wasn't sure if I replied on my blog if I would go to you. One of my good friends is a military wife and they move around all the time. I don't think I have it in me to do what you guys do. I don't like change. Thanks for the blog comment! I actually do have sesame oil and hoisin sauce already. We'll have to try it! Looks good!
