In ten days, my husband will be a Chief, and together, we will get to celebrate the most important day of his career. I can't wait to pin those anchors on and watch him soak up every second of the glory he so richly deserves. Until then, ten reasons why I love being a Navy wife...10. I love knowing that in an indirect way, I'm helping to make the world a better place for people who are less fortunate than I am.
9. I never thought I could be this independent.
8. I'm a real sucker for a man in uniform.
7. Celebrating Christmas in February because he's been gone is even better than celebrating in December.
6. You realize how much you mean to each other when you're separated.
5. Sometimes, it's nice having the whole bed to myself.
4. I can hold down a full time job, take care of our child, pay all the bills on time, clean the house, and still have time to catch up on my trashy TV. And I don't even need a fairy godmother.
3. We have made some of the best friends.
2. Free healthcare!
1. After weeks and sometimes months of separation, all the anxiety, anger, sadness and fear goes away the second you see their face. And somehow you forget about all the bad stuff.
I admire you! Thank God for people like your husband and the people who are married to them. I think you are both amazing.
