I live 1200 Miles Away from my husband.
Why would any sane person do such a thing? Well, first off, I never said I was 100% sane, and secondly, because it just made sense.
You see, my husband (Kevin) is active duty military, and when they tell you to move, you just – well – move. But this time, I didn't. It’s not that we've fallen out of love or our relationship is over, in fact, we’re stronger than we ever have been. It’s that we’re thinking of the long-term investment, and 4 years across a whole lifetime is really not that long.
He moved to California for his job and I stayed in Colorado for mine. Schools were just better in Colorado for our daughter (Avery). We had just bought a house a mere 3 months before we found out about the orders. Again, I dare say. It just made sense.
So my tween-aged daughter and I live in Colorado, and my loving husband lives in California. These are the adventures, musings, and life stories of us living 1200 miles away.
A few more tidbits about me personally:
- I am a current Advisory Board Member for Military Family Advisory Network.
- I have been a contributor for NextGenMilSpouse.com, the National Military Family Association and Big City Moms.
- I am a Scout for the Military Property Project, a program that helps military families invest in real estate - feel free to ask me about my experience as a Landlord.
- I work full-time as a marketing manager for an engineering firm, which crazy enough, is a lot of fun for me
