The Military & My Career

So I never realized how hard it was for a spouse of a service member to have a career or even establish one. I am a college student, I have been for awhile, might as well be a career college student since I feel as if I will never graduate. I was originally going to school to be a psychologist and become a family and marraige counselor. Well after 3 1/2 years I had an epiphany and decided I didnt want to do that. So I changed my major to PTA (physical therapy assisting). Well after finding that I really enjoy this and taking the pre-reqs to apply for the program, my hubby tells me we got orders to Germany. At first I am ecstatic then I realize I cant do the PTA program because you have to be physically here. Bummer right... So I am sitting here at a cross roads trying to figure out what to do. So as I go through all the degrees my school has to offer, I see I am six classes from being able to get an Associate's degree in Allied Health, whatever that is. I figure I might as well take this so I can at least have a degree, but I know this isnt what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Then last night I am laying in bed and talking to my husband about how I am about to be 24 and I dont know what I want to be when I grow up. He tells me to do something I love and am passionate about. So I am sitting there thinking and it hits me. What do I like to do??? Bake! I love to be in the kitchen making something up. Hmmm maybe I should open a bakery become a baker. Then I thought can I even do that because ever four years we will be moving. How do all you other Military wives balance a career and always moving? Who ever thought that when we graduated high school at 18 we would know what we wanted to do for the rest of our adult life was sadly mistaken.

We are PCSing

OMG!!! I am so excited but nervous at the same time. First let me say we have been at Macdill AFB for a lil over two years, and I have been telling my husband I wish we could PCS. So he put in for a special duty assignment and he got it so we are moving too...... Germany!!!! Ramstein AFB to be exact! I am so excited because I havent been to Germany since my dad was stationed there when I was a kid. Since we are moving from Tampa, FL I am also looking forward to having 4 seasons. I cant remember the last time I got to see a autumn and a winter. It will be my daughters first time seeing snow as well. So in 6 months I will be saying Hello Germany! I am sad that I will have to leave the good friends that I have made along the way. Good news is two of my friends husbands are also trying to get stationed in Germany as well. so that is something to look forward to. Either way I am excited about this new journey in my life.
