Bloghop Party post

Hello, my name is Lisa and my blog is "A Chance to Bloom."  I have been married to my Marine pilot for over seven years and we have two beautiful children. I have spent the past four-and-a-half years being a stay-home mom.  Despite being thankful for the ability to stay home with my kids, my thoughts kept pulling me to do something more.  I have always loved writing, so I began using it to express the emotions going on inside that my mouth wouldn't let me speak.  I found that it was not only an outlet for my emotions, but also a way to provide motivation and encouragement to others by sharing my own experiences and inspirations.

Although there are struggles that come with being a military spouse, I am grateful for the journey.  One of the greatest benefits for me has been experiencing the kindness, support, wisdom, and understanding of the other wives I have met along the way.  I have developed some of the most amazing friendships within this group of women.  To all the military spouses out there, Thank You for all that you do, not just for your families, but for your fellow spouses too!

Please continue to my latest post, The Will of the Wife, to read more about the wonder of a military wife and why my blog is titled "A Chance to Bloom."  You will also find helpful links for military spouses and a list of some of the other wonderful blogs I read.  My blog is only about a month old, so I am still working on adding more stuff.  I hope you like what you see so far!  And I look forward to meeting more of you and reading your blogs!
