Welcome to my new Navy Wife blog

Published by beth_wilson at 6:03 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Hey, thanks for stopping by to read my blog. I’m Beth, a Navy spouse. I’ve been married to my (sexy) Sailor for just under six years. In that time we have moved seven (yes, I said seven) times, he’s been gone over 50% of our marriage and we just finished our first - uninterrupted - year together. Yes, I still feel like a newlywed…LOL.

I don’t know about you but my life dramatically changed the day I married my Sailor. From all the moves to surviving deployment to learning the ‘lingo’ and culture of the Navy…WOW, has my life changed!

Sometimes I’m flustered by the challenges of military life, sometimes I just shake my head. Other times I can’t believe I get to live this life that others will never fully understand (or appreciate). But mostly, I want to connect with others in the same boat (no pun intended…LOL).

So, this blog is for and about me and my Navy wife/spouse companions. Let’s explore this life we’ve married; the challenges, joys, resources, support, information and even inspiration. Tell me about you. How long have you been ‘married to the military, the Navy’? How many moves have you experienced? How many deployments under your belt? What is your greatst challenge? What is your greatest joy?

Let’s learn from each other…let’s take care of each other…

    I’m not a military wife, but I just wanted to say thank you to you, your husband and all the other military families out there. I couldn’t imagine living in such a way, but I guess you do anything for love, right? :)

    Kelly,

    Thank you! I thought I knew what I was getting into when I married my sailor. At my bridal shower I was asked how I would handle months and months of deployment. I joked, and somewhat confidently said, “After 40+ years of singlehood, six months of deployment will be a walk in the park!”

    Go ahead…laugh! I was an idiot…but it is so worth it. My sailor is a man of great principle, integrity and commitment. He is my friend, lover and hero.

    Thanks again, Kelly
