Valentine’s day is coming up and I know there are varying opinions on the holiday. Some love it, some hate it or ignore it. Some choose to celebrate with friends while others choose to celebrate it with loved ones. As a military spouse, there is never a guarantee that I will be able to celebrate …
Word of the Year
