Active Duty Members (and others)... REMEMBER to thank your Spouses!

I am currently in the middle of unpacking our new home. Our HHG (household goods) arrived yesterday and the Express arrived this morning. As I wade through paper, boxes, bubble wrap, tape and all the assorted packing stuff, I want to remind our Active Duty, DoD, DoDEA, and Civilian Contractors to thank your spouses. We knowingly sacrifice our careers, uproot our lives every 3 years (give or take), regularly supervise the packing up of houses and lives and on the other end in a new home, town/city, base, and perhaps even new country unpack, wash dishes/clothing/bedding, clean, and put away much of the house. Don't forget to thank us. We work very hard and sometimes need a little extra thank you (and perhaps a hug).

Update: August 2013

It's been quite a while since I wrote. Between Izac's deployment, the loss of our dog, and then the move to our new home I have been a bit overwhelmed but I am going to make an effort to write at least once a week to keep things moving. Keep your eyes peeled. :)
