I recently interviewed Nicole and her husband Bo on my latest podcast episode.
The Whites, are an “average” military couple that has figured out how to make it work despite the hardships. After about a decade of military life, Bo and Nicole are settling down in Traverse City, MI, and trying to re-establish what “normal” looks like for them. Nicole is a gifted writer and we are honored to spotlight her story!
BEAUTY ON THE BATTLEFIELD: One military spouse’s story.
By Nicole White
Every girl has an idea of how she’ll meet “The One”. She imagines the perfect date, her dream wedding. Any ideas I had about meeting my future husband vanished when I met Bo.
I was a year from graduating from school in southern California; he was enrolled in an intense military course in Albuquerque, New Mexico. After a whirlwind weekend, we had parted ways—each back to our own lives, for the time being, but carrying this burning new reality that everything was about to change.
Eight weeks after we met, Bo and I eloped.
Some might say the way we met and fell in such sure, quick love was luck, or a fluke, or something more cynical….
