The First Post

Hello all new readers!
I have created this blog to tell a story. A true story. The story of a group of military wives who have learned a thing or two about themselves, each other and their significant (or ex-significant) others. 
You may have noticed the blog title is "The Ones Who Stayed Home." Well that's exactly what we were. We were the ones who stayed home and held down the fort so that our soldiers could go off and do what they were told to do for our country. Here, we will tell you our stories. The hardships we endured staying behind, the friendships we made, and perhaps even the horrible experiences we wouldn't wish on our worst enemies. 
We give plenty of credit to our nation's soldiers and all that they do, but here we will also pay tribute to the ones behind the scenes, as they are heroes in their own light.
