It's crazy, but Dan will be home for 3 weeks in less than a month. Funny how time seems to fly and stand still all at once. For those of you who don't know, Dan did all of his Pilot in Command testing, and earned the title last week. I am SO SO proud of him. Hopefully these last few weeks will go rather quickly.. I feel bad saying that.. I know we are supposed to not forget about the "now" because we're to busy looking forward.. but it's a little hard not!
"I married a committed military man. And I have loved this military life. I have also had to put my personal opinions aside to truly understand that our defenders of freedom are fighting a bigger battle. Not a political battle; their battle goes beyond politics. Beyond on religion, race, or gender. They are the defenders for us all. They are the defenders of our differences. As one soldier is taken away from us, another returns to us. There is balance in the universe; a natural system of order. Look beside each soldier, and you will find the people who fight with them. The spouses, the sons, the daughters, the families.: we serve too. Their victories are our victories, their defeats are our defeats. Together, we fight for our freedom. For years, I have tried to be the perfect wife and mother. Each day, I disappoint myself. Human life isn't about perfection; it is about accepting the flawed.. the misguided parts of ourselves. We keep trying, we keep loving, we keep believing. I am proud of the role we play in maintaining peace, in our country and in the world. I am proud to stand beside a man whose integrity shines like a diamond in the dust. And I am proud to call myself an Army wife." -Army Wives
