Beautiful Badass

Everyone always asks how do you not watch the news? If we are being perfectly honest it’s the only way I stay sane. You see being an Army wife comes with a lot of ups and downs. Upside? My husband is kind of an American badass. Infantry baby.. Grunt life.. FUN.. NOT!!!! You see although he’s a badass in my eyes a lot goes along with the title of being a “grunt” and it’s not always pretty. We spend time away from each other so he can train for times such as now. I know my husband does his job and he does it well, but that still doesn’t keep the wife side of me from worrying. I pray every night that we don’t get that phone call that Uncle Sam needs him more than we do, but the only thing I rest assured on is that he was God’s before he was mine. I have to believe that some how in the midst of all this that Gods will will be done. It’s very nerve racking, scary, worrisome, and overwhelming. I don’t watch the news because all they talk about is the negative and I can’t live my life in the “what if’s” I have to live this life day to day and pray my way through it. After all there’s 4 sets of eyes that are looking up at me to hold it all together. Beautiful Badass? Somedays I wear that title with a smile, but then there are sometimes I just don’t want to be strong. Will I continue to push forward and not let this slow our family down? Of course I will. This nagging thought of my husband being called out to defend our great Nation is one thing I’ll never be able to let rest. This is just another day in the life of an Army Wife!
