Some people avoid calling themselves an Army Wife. This is probably because others don't classify themselves as a doctor's wife or a carpenter's wife, etc. I don't mind, though because I know that's not ALL I am. I am many other things as well as being Jordan's wife. I'm proud of him, though so I don't shy away from the term.
I'm in the system now. It's already proved so much more convienient. I can get on post now without a hassel which is amazing. My photo on the ID is revolting, though! I've never seen a good military ID picture so I really wasn't surprised, but my goodness...I looked like I put on about 50 pounds over night!
I changed my name, too on all the most important legal documents. NO ONE has pronounced my name correctly yet (with the exception of people close to me). It's Weigle (Why-Gull), people. Got it? hehe :)
I've been cooking more lately. Honestly, I think it's because I like wearing the new apron my sister got me for my birthday! I just look so darn cute in it. (Thanks, Paige!) Tonight I'm attempting to make pull pork. The problem is- I am missing two ingredients so I improvised. It might be terrible, but we'll see. Updates to come. (Just ignore the lack of makeup in this pic!)

Welcome to the military wife family!
Congratulations :)
Congrats on getting all that taken care of, when my husband and I did that it seemed to have taken the entire day! but yes it is so much easier once you have your I.D. I dont even use my drivers license anymore anywhere I go i just use my spouse or dependent I.D. Pulled pork sounds good, I've never tried making that, theres a first for all recipes though! Congrats again and have a great day!
I agree on the military ID. When I got mine a few months ago I thought ewwww lol. It's okay though. I was happy to be in the system too. Since I got my I.D. I've only been on post twice since he's been gone. I just haven't found it in me to set food on post yet. Pulled pork sounds delicious. How did it come out when you were done with it. I cooked my first meal too it was a bunch of chicken thighs but i roasted them nomnom yummy =) Anyways I might be late and wrong witht his comment but congrats on getting all that stuff done.
Aww Congrats! I completely can relate, no one can pronounce my husband's and I's last name. It's Kirscht like "kier-shht."
That's wonderful, I'm looking forward to "being in the system". Also, my fiances last name is Domaianus (doe-me-ah-nuss). A huge pain :-p
Oh Congrats! I loved reading your article :) and Congrats on the baby bump also!
