The Plight of Military Wives
How to Strengthen Your Marriage While Your Husband is Deployed
Due to the state of affairs overseas and our involvement in them, many men and women in America are forced to learn the role of long-distance spouse. New generations of families are discovering how to function while separated for extensive amounts of time. What if there were ways to not only maintain a healthy marriage, but to actually grow it? Divorce is becoming more and more common. A disconnect can occur when a spouse returns home after a year absence and the two (who had previously become one) feel separate, as if they don't even know each other. Time changes people; it is important to still get to know one another while separated. War changes people; it is vital that you support your spouse in their struggles, even if you have to do it from across the ocean. You can grow your communication and marriage while away from one another; try not to think of it as your lives on pause. I speak from experience; I am a professional long-distance wife.

A Year Older and a Little Less Wiser
In just one year an awful lot has happened, the complete collapse of the world financial system. Barrack Obama became president. My bad-boy nephew has a girlfriend or two. My 24 month old niece is reading thanks to the ‘Your Baby Can Read’ program. And as for me, I have started a new career in writing and in a few weeks will celebrate another birthday. I should have a party. I can merge both a personal birthday party and the concept of a networking event into one; killing two birds with one stone.
Because I’m new in town, I can invite my immediate small circle of family and their friend. I will also invite potential clients, as well as, those people who are connected in the community. Huh, how can I structure the party and invitations to reflect my intentions clearly? I don’t want to appear ambitious or pretentious. I know one thing for certain… the invitations; the favors and decorations will definitely be DIY. My friend Richard suggested that I go online to get ideas for innovative party themes and decorating tips. There is one site I thought had the best and most economical tips , http://www.celebrating-birthdays.com/invitations/index.shtml and also http://www.celebrating-birthdays.com/crafts/flower-felt-bags.shtml. That’s where I was inspired and came up with a great idea. Take a blank index cards and print the party details on them. Go to the dollar store and purchase some cheap aprons. Then pin them on the apron and send as invitations. UHm…It would be great if I could find melon printed aprons….I’ll keep you posted.
