How a chicken sandwich taught me I don’t like change.

Military life, parenthood, homeschooling, and ministry all hold fast to some very important truths.

  • Expect the unexpected
  • Everything will change
  • Enjoy today because it wont be here long
  • Embrace the roller coaster ride!

Are you picking up on the theme? Change. It is inevitable. Avoid getting comfortable because that’s when it all hits the fan. So that’s my life. Everything changes.

So why did I find that chicken sandwich so upsetting?

I count myself in nothing else so happy
As in a soul remembering my good friends.

My 5 Favorite Things About Military Life Everyone Needs To Know by A Real Military Wife of Blogland

Yep. That’s me. The real deal. (not the picture silly, the part about me being a Military Spouse)

Whether you are part of this military life or not I bet we have a few things in common and a few out of the box crazy stories we could share. Let me start by saying that my #1 favorite thing about Military life is the community that surrounds it.

I love meeting new people from all walks of life and all different places. I love that I can say I have friends in nearly every state and quite a few across the ocean.

Today I’m excited to link up with a few more. Thank you Mal and Samantha for the opportunity.
