Blog Hop for Military Spouses

Well as a military spouse it is always nice to meet people who are facing the same issues as you. Thanks to Household6Diva and Riding the Roller Coaster I have a chance to participate in this blog hop so I thought it might be fun to read about fellow bloggers who stand behind their soldiers just like I do.

Hi, my name is Emily. I am 26 years old and I am an army wife. Being an army wife was something I never imagined calling myself when I was growing up. I was a homebody to the core. I even went to college less than an hour away from home so as to be close to family but still get a new experience. Well, I guess God knew it was okay for me to be a homebody for a little while because at that small college is where I met my husband. My husband and I both played soccer in college and while we were friends for a few months before we started dating I knew as soon as we did start dating I was a goner. We dated for a year and got engaged. I knew my husband had thoughts of the military when he was younger but figured those days were behind us. It was not until my grandfather who served in the military passed away did he discover his passion for serving his country was still alive and well. So about a month after we got engaged he left for basic training and AIT. He came home after AIT for two weeks. We got married and he then left for a year to his duty station. After finishing his time there, we agreed we wanted to start our married life on an adventure- so we signed up for three years in Germany. It has definitely been an adventure. We have two dogs and hope to have kids someday.

We enjoy getting out and exploring whenever we can. We both enjoy sports, although he stays more active than I do. I try to stay connected into the schools because of my teaching degree and my love for kids. I enjoy photography, baking, and decorating in simple and cheap ways. This blog is a place for me to keep in touch with family back home as well as write about adventures we take, things I make, and people I love.

I would have never considered five years ago that I would be a military wife but I am coming up on three years standing behind my soldier and I wouldn't have it any other way!
