Reasa, Military Spouse

I am a wife, mom and whatever else life calls for. My Hubby and I have been married for 17 years and in that time we have been active duty Navy, National Guard, and now active duty Army. We have five children, two dogs, a fish and a Texas Spiny Lizard. We are still at our first duty station as Army folks and see no chance of us leaving here in the near future.
