A Military Friendship and A New Project!

10 years, thousands of miles, countless moves, 5 children …..etc.…. the makings of a military friendship.  In my opinion, the bond shared between military spouses is unmatched and after 10 years of my husband’s Navy career it is one of the things that I cherish the most.  We have been able to experience some incredible things and live and visit incredible places, but nothing will replace the friendships formed with fellow military spouses.

In my experience, a military friendship is almost effortless.  They understand spending every waking minute with each other only to disappear off the face of the earth once the submarine reappears at the pier.  They know exactly what you need without having to ask and they will be brutally honest and tell you to stop wallowing and “Navy-Wife Up.”  They understand that your friendship will withstand thousands of miles of distance and several years and you will be able to pick up where you left off once you are back together again.

This blog is a story of a friendship.  We are two Navy wives who have been friends since we moved into our first apartments (right next door to each other) in Charleston, SC in 2002.  We are finally stationed at the same base and as predicted we picked up right where we left off.  Of course we have had some dramatic changes in our lives, but we went right back to doing what we do best …. killing the time our husbands are gone by doing all sorts of “projects.”  We tackle anything that catches our eye and we are not afraid to try something new.

Our plan is to post 5 days a week with each day being devoted to a different topic.  We will have Military Mondays where we discuss military history as well as current event topics.  Tuesdays and Thursdays will be miscellaneous topics ranging from DIY and craft projects to product reviews and our monthly book club discussion.  Wednesdays are dedicated to food and drink and we are calling Fridays our Feature Fridays where we hope to feature businesses and blogs of fellow military spouses as well as have guest bloggers on our own blog.

We hope you enjoy....if you do, spread the word!

Love,

Kristen and Alyse
