My Sunday nights are about to get 100x better. My favorite t.v. show is returning! Now don’t go thinking I’m this “ultimate” military girlfriend who only watches the show because T is serving. I’ve watched the show with my mom since the very beginning and I think that’s partly what makes it my favorite – it’s been able to keep my attention for so long, unlike very many other current t.v. shows.

Now for some fun facts regarding my favorites of the show –

My favorite Army wife: 
Claudia Joy. She’s been through a lot and seems like the wisest one.

The Holdens – The dad is a general so he’s away a lot, one of the daughter’s was killed, and the mom has diabetes but they’re still a strong family.

The Burtons – The mom is a colonel and I think it is important to portray a family whose mom/wife is the one serving. The dad is a therapist and the kids are young so it’s a fun and interesting dynamic to watch.

The LeBlancs – Sadly they are gone from the show 🙁 but they were a young couple with little kids and reminded me more of the younger couples I know in the military than any of the other couples.

“What is it about the human touch, holding a loved one close and feeling their warmth, their heartbeat? I mean … frequently our loved ones are far away. But their warmth doesn’t have to be.”

As you can tell, I absolutely love this show haha. I know it catches some gripe, and understandably so, from some military wives because it is not 100% realistic. I wouldn’t really know because T and I are not married and are long distance so our relationship is much different than a marriage and/or living on or near base together. And even though I watch it for entertainment, the military tidbits are more relevant in my life now than when I was a 21-yr-old binge drinking college student.

Are any of you fans of the show and as excited as I am?!
