I wanted everyone to know what it is like sometimes being a wife to a deployed soldier. Last week I was moving out of post housing to get into an apartment this fall. Moving out of housing comes with some paperwork and lots of sweat.

Last saturday, knowing I was to clear quarters on Wednesday..I started taking boxes to my storage unit. I moved everything to storage because we are going to be traveling all summer. I went to turn my car on and it was a no go. Dead car in my front yard..saturday night. What do you do? Call your husband overseas and act like it doesn't bother you :)

Sunday morning..couldn't make it to church, but the tow truck comes to get my car. My car was not done as promised on sunday but I needed to move my stuff. I call a cab and take my kids to rent a uhaul truck. For the next couple days that was my new ride. I single handedly (all except a tv armoire) moved my whole 4 bedroom house to a storage unit. I was going to attempt to clean before we left but the mean lady from the housing office said that nobody passes so not to even try.

When you are in a location far from family, you have to learn to make due. You either make friends or do it yourself. I have made lots of friends and still ended up doing it by myself. I did have a couple other army wives help me out..one came and mopped and the other one let me drop the two small girls off at 7pm to get the last little bit in boxes. thanks guys

I have to say, I am so glad my life is simplified enough that I can pack up everything with my four kids tugging at my legs and single handedly move all my lifes belongings to a new location. Bring it on disaster!! I will have to say that I appreciate my mom and dad for being a great support group for me and my husband for keeping me strong in the light of disaster. Thanks everyone..I love you!!

I love my Army wife life and the empowerment I get when I go through these experiences. I am so glad that I am a wife of a deployed soldier that loves me and gives me great support. I really feel for those moms that are truly single moms and do this all the time without the support that I have.
