Great advice Crystal! I get this question a lot on my blog too and have two blogposts she might find of interest….

Generally realize that ALL wives at one point or another were in your shoes, and it is just going to be a learning process and keep doing what you are doing by reading about others’ experiences…I think Crystal has a list somewhere of other military wives blogs…plus try the Army Wives Forum at http://www.armywivesforums.com/ to connect with others ….and of course Cyrstal’s new forum (which I really need to visit)!
Let me say that with your DH joining the military, you become a part of a larger military family…with all the good things that go with having someone in your corner, job security for your DH and all the non-monetary benefits your family will receive:-)
