I'm headed up to Maryland to see my wonderful husband for our first anniversary. Yay!
Pictures and stories when I get back :)

Hello!
I started this as a way for my friends and family to follow along this journey that is deployment. My husband is a Lieutenant in the Army Reserves. His unit, a Mobile Public Affairs unit, is deploying to Afghanistan in October. And ironically, our last name is Major, thus the name.
My married life has been an adventure to say the least. Almost one year ago we said "I do!" and moved to North Carolina. Shortly after Bart left for army school for two months. The he was home for a few months with only one forseeable length of time away from me.
Then I came home from work one night. Bart said "I need you to sit down."
The timeline changed. We were not going to be able to spend our newlywed days and months in the same state.
Bart claims that I handled this news better than he ever thought I would. This brings us to current days where he is gone for school for the Army again. Then they go to New Jersey until they deploy in October.
I decided to start this to try to encourage me to keep things in perspective and to reach out and find support. Because I am a reserve wife, we do not live on post and the military support base is more challenging to find.
I also want to post the things that make me laugh, cry, celebrate and enjoy my time without my Major so that when he comes home I will have a way to remember those things with him.
With love,
Beka
