About this title

About the Author

Allison Mewes is the proud wife of an Army soldier. She met her husband on a blind date, and seven and a half months later they were married on base by a chaplain (who called her husband by someone else's name during the ceremony). A week after that, her new husband left for Annual Training and then deployed to the Middle East for a year. Allison's experiences as a newlywed entering the Army lifestyle, along with the humorous things that happened along the way, inspired her to help other military spouses and significant others make the transition to Army life. She owns Blue Bamboo Project Services and now lives with her husband and daughter in Idaho.
