By Jen Heisel My husband and I have been together for three-and-a-half years and in that time, he’s been on two deployments, multiple exercises, training across the country, night flights, overnight trips, etc. We had to learn very quickly how to not only make our relationship survive but also thrive, in the midst of time apart.

Wedding Wednesday | The Dress
The dreaded dress shopping. Surprisingly, even though I tried on probably 25 dresses, it really wasn’t that bad. In typical military fashion, it’s not easy to get your friends AND family together for something. I wasn’t able to have most of my bridesmaids present for my dress shopping. I was lucky enough to have my mother, future mother-in-law, and sister in attendance. I planned my dress shopping around Jett’s graduation from The Basic School when both our families would be in town together.

To My Parents
Veterans Day. A day to recognize and thank all those who have served. Both of my parents were in the Navy and so usually around this time of year I write a Facebook post thanking them for their service. This year is a little different. Today, I realized I’ve barely told my parents how proud I am of them and their service. I often tell Jett how proud I am of him because I am. But, somehow, I’ve never told my parents. Here it is.
