My husband is ...Thank you for sharing all of this. My husband is just considering enlisting as a military chaplain. I googled "military chaplain wives" to get some perspective and found your blog. You are giving me plenty of real life perspective. I'm not sure if I have the stamina... How do you not let fear take over every day? I know nothing of military life...<br /><br />Thank you (and your husband of course) for your sacrifices.Nancyhttp://www.shawnanigans.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786699463993326279.post-1249240595034903102011-01-31T06:00:33.584-08:002011-01-31T06:00:33.584-08:00Rosie - the boys did fine.

It's always toughest when it messes with the summer, and he left in the middle and came home in the middle of the next one, but we had a great vacation when he returned and that gave us all something to look forward to. They're older so I think that made it easier as well.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582952546782012059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786699463993326279.post-45703820132216856162011-01-30T12:48:41.249-08:002011-01-30T12:48:41.249-08:00My husband is a chaplain candidate...we were separ...My husband is a chaplain candidate...we were separated during Chbolc for 3 months, and I thought THAT was hard!
