The Crazy World of Dating
Our 17 year old recently discovered that her dad and I met online and she was ‘amused, with a hint of confused’. She asked, “Why online? Why can’t you just meet people ‘normally’?.” Now I was the one finding it odd, as this was coming from someone whose entire generation lives online! I don’t know about you, but how many times have you been out somewhere and randomly bumped into someone who might just be the love of your life?! I’m pretty sure that only happens in films (do let me know if you met that way!). I asked her how her dream meeting would go and she reeled off…

So Who Am I? – The Unmarried Military Spouse
I’m just an ordinary unmarried military spouse trying to adult my way through life, with a hint of what I like to call ‘a crazy brain‘. You know, those weird ass, mostly nonsense thoughts you have sometimes, where you wonder if anyone else thinks these things… Well I’m here to tell you they do! It’s hard isn’t it? Life! Having entered the over 30’s category as an unmarried military spouse, I decided a blog might be a good idea (and now a podcast!) I question everything and try to find my own logic through it. I figured if I write and just one person can relate (and feel a little more…
