To ReEnlist or Not...

This is a major question weighing on my mind. My husband is working on his last year of his contract right now and has the chance to reenlist while he is overseas..I have really thought long and hard about this because it is his choice but it does effect me and our family.

I don't care about the money, the steady job, the health benifits, or really anything else the Army has to give us. Yes it is a nice bonus,but as long as I am with my husband I am happy! I believe that this is truely his choice. If he is not happy with his job and where he is at in life then our relationship won't be where it should be or where it could be.

I would love it if my husband reenlisted because he has said he did not want to go to college but he wanted to go to SWAT after he got out of the Army. I think that spending more time in the Army would be the better thing to do before trying to get into a SWAT. He has only been in the Army for 3 years and we have only lived at one base..and this is NOT where I want to live the rest of my life!

Reenlisting would allow us to move to a new location and allow him to have "a new job"..because we all know duty stations change everything. While moving is not fun and making new friends would be hard I stand behind my husbands decions 110%. I know that even if we do not agree on what he should do..he knows what truely makes him happy, not me. If he is not happy at work, then how are we suppose to be truely happy in our marriage?

So I will leave you with this: To reenlist or not??

I am an ARMY WIFE!... What's Your Superpower??

With my man being gone life has gone from always being hectic to now just sitting around most f the day and doing nothing. Before he left I thought I was being a good wife. Now that he is gone I see so many places I could have improved! I try so hard now to stay actve and keep myself busy so this time will go by faster than it is at the moment. There are so many new things I would love to lean while he is gone and being a better cook is one of them :)

Before I met my husband I was always scrapbooking and sewing..Even though in our new home I have a room all to myself for my crafts I had hardly worked on anything while he was here. Since he has left a goal of mine is to finish all of my projects I had said I wanted to complete before I met him.

Lets see if I can complete all of my goals in this next year before he returns home to me!
