Building A Life You Love
I Didn’t Sign Up For This Since becoming a military spouse, I have moved approximately every two years. The other night hubs and I were talking about just how much of our life is devoted to moving – prepping for a move, actually moving, or getting settled in a new place. In the last ten […]
