Military Spouse Linkup

Linking up with Amanda and Jen for a military spouse link up!



My name is Brenna. I am married to Lee (Army Blackhawk Pilot) for last 18 years. We have 4 awesome kiddos- Hais is 14, Carter is 7, and Brody & Landon are 2. Yes, we could not have possibly stretched out the ages anymore- lol! I started this blog somewhere around my husbands first deployment I believe in 2006...? It has been all over the place. At times I have been a lifestyle blogger. A parenting blogger. A milso blogger. A rambling hot mess blogger.  I have been away from blogging for awhile. Life got crazy and it got sacrificed. I miss it. I randomly came on today and saw this link up and thought- game on.

I enjoy a ton of things about the military lifestyle. I always say it is a love hate relationship but my loves FAR outweigh my hates. I love the adventure- the friendships- the security of a paycheck. Watching friends get out the last few years has scared me enough to tell my hubby he will have to be forced out eventually when he gets too old and senile to safely fly:)

Advice. Jump in. Get involved. FRG's are amazing sources of not just information but friendships. Find your tribe. The tribe will change every duty station but they are there! The friendships you make are priceless!

We have been to Fort Bragg (twice), Fort Lewis, Fort Sam Houston, Fort Carson, Fort Rucker (twice) and Ansbach Germany (best duty station ever!)

I haven't worked in years. I have my Masters in Elementary Education. I used to spend a ton of time in my daughters classrooms, in Spouses Clubs and FRG's. Now I wrangle two year old twin boys. That takes all my energy most days (and my sanity!). I also spend lots of time rooting on my daughter on the softball field/tennis court or my middle son playing baseball!

*Side note- I have been away from blogging for awhile and linking to all the military wives who participated sort of lit my fire for jumping back in! Thanks ladies! I do have to say though- so much has changed... will have to learn about BlogLovin now- ha!
