Hurry Up and Wait: Confessions of a Military Spouse
Welcome. This is a space for military spouses who have lived the long stretches of waiting, carried the weight of home alone, and learned to be strong even when no one was watching. The stories shared here are honest, unfiltered, and rooted in real life—because this journey deserves to be told truthfully.
My life began far from bases and uniforms, growing up on a small farm in rural Georgia. I married my high school sweetheart at eighteen, never imagining that military life would shape the next two decades of my world. Since then, deployments, separations, and constant transitions have taught me resilience the hard way—often while juggling the roles of partner, parent, and everything in between.

A Raw, Honest, and Hilariously Relatable Memoir
Hurry Up and Wait: Confessions of a Military Spouse is the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud on one page and tear up on the next. Emily has a gift for storytelling—she takes the reader inside the unpredictable, often chaotic, and sometimes downright absurd world of being a military spouse.
What makes this memoir stand out is Emily’s honesty. She doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of long deployments, constant moves, and the emotional toll military life takes on families. But instead of dwelling in the heaviness, she uses humor as her lifeline, showing how laughter can carry you through even the hardest moments. As a reader, you feel like you’re sitting across from a friend swapping stories over a cup of coffee.
Whether you’ve lived the military spouse life yourself or are just curious about what it’s really like behind the “support our troops” bumper sticker, this memoir is equal parts entertaining and eye-opening. Emily reminds us that behind every soldier is a spouse navigating their own battles—and doing it with resilience, heart, and plenty of sarcasm.
