Top 10

So I found this list on another friend's blog about being a Military Spouse. I couldn't help but feel the need to repost it with a little extra from me.

Top 10 List of Military Spouse Quotes

10) If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them!

(AMEN!!! You can say all you about your feelings on the war, politics, or whatever, but if you can't stand behind the men and women who fight EVERY day to protect your right to RUN your mouth you are more then welcome to stand in front of them.)

9) My husband risks his life so you can run your mouth.

(REFER BACK TO #10)

8) If the military wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one.

(OMGosh, I have only been a military spouse for a year and a half I can not tell how many times I have said this to myself. They try but let's face it there's a reason that saying goes Mission ALWAYS!)

7) Don’t confuse your rank with my authority.

(I think it speaks for itself?)

6) Prosper where you’re planted.

(Every assignment is what you make it. Our first assignment to Columbus taught us that quick. It wasn't an ideal location by any means but we had a wonderful time with all the amazing people we met there.)

5) The military is my husband's mistress and sometimes that b*tch gets all the attention.

3) Sexually deprived for your freedom.
(ONCE AGAIN SO TRUE!!! There is a reason that Ft. Carson is called a Baby Factory. Hello boys have been gone 12 months what do you think it gonna happen when they get home.

(This quote got me though this summer. Those nights where I just felt like crawling into a ball and saying FORGET IT ALL! I don't care if my stuff gets packed or if we ever get to Colorado. As a military spouse you learn quickly you just got to do what you got to do. Oh you just had a baby congratulations here is a 6 month deployment for ya, Oh your 5 months pregnant and moving across country? Well we are gonna send your husband away for the 2 months before you move have fun handling things at home. OH you and your husband are both in the military GREAT we need you across the country from one another. It's just life. It's our life. We live it EVERYDAY and YES it's choice we made. A choice I would make again and again because I love my military man!)
