It’s been years since I said the swore into the military and put my life truly in the hands of another. In the moment I stood there, swearing in and saying words I had never considered, I began to understand the gravity of what I was doing.

While we did not have a {Read More}

But, at 2am, I woke and wondered if you knew that I needed encouragement? I have loved this place here – this place where {Read More}
