My spouse joined the Navy back in 2009 when I was still finishing up grad school. We married in March of that year, he left for OCS in May, and we lived apart for the following 12 months. Since he's been in, we have moved cross-country twice, with a third move back to the west coast scheduled for summer 2017. We have three young children (ages 6, 4, and 2) who have gotten to experience all of this as well. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work, and I've been lucky enough to find full-time employment for most of the time that he's been in the Navy. However, we just relocated again this summer and will only be here for 9 more months, so finding a full-time job has been a struggle. I'm extremely passionate about topics including military spouse careers, moving, military kids, supportive resources, and military spouse self-care.
