Elizabeth Handley:  

of the year was a skate. I learned so much about agrilculture, government bonds and good ole farmers. I would definately do this job again in a heartbeat. Pretty much I've stayed in the accounting field. When we lived in Oregon I had my own bookkeeping business. While in Alabama Samantha was added to our family. When we decided to move home to Montana my husband and I looked at ourselves finacially and decided I would stay home until Sammi started school in the fall of 2006. Now that Sammi is in school I got a job out of the accounting field and into the teaching field. I am an EA step I with the Title I department at our local school. I work with 1st graders in reading and 3rd graders Math. It's fun to have a variety of kids all day. It's a lot of fun and I'm happy to be at Sammi's school even though I'm not in her class. Military Actually I've never been in the military, but I married me an Army man. There is just something about a man in a uniform. So I did get a taste of the military life and still like shopping in a commissary. You know you don't pay tax on liquor! :) Bob is retired from the National Guard 2003. He has been activated more times than I can count, but we have been blessed keeping him home. I'll miss his annual trainings each year, it's like a mini vacation for me. Although I do have a lot of icky laundry to do when he returns. One of Bob's favorite things of Army life was going to Germany for a few years... Darn it he did that before we married. One of his favorite memories of being a National Guardsman is helping fight the fires in 1988 in Yellowstone and right outside of Glacier National Park. When all is said and done what I've learned from military life? Don't complain. If the Army wanted soldiers to have a spouse, they would have issued them one!! God Bless all of our Troops, Where ever they are stationed!!
