I wear many hats in this life: Army wife, mother, dog-lover, graphic designer, writer, aspiring artist, friend, daughter, sister, cousin, Auntie, chauffeur, teacher, chief financial officer, business owner, and occasionally lost soul. Mostly just a “Jack of All Trades.” We are about to begin our second stint apart as my husband deploys and is gone for the next 14 months or so.
