I'm Baaack...

So, it's been a while. Like a REALLY long while and it that long while, LOTS of things have changed. My life is completely different than it was, or than it EVER has been for that matter.

I stopped working on February 7th, 2009. I'm gonna give you a minute to let that sink in because I have NEVER, EVER not worked in my life. The days I turned 16, I started a job and have been gainfully employed ever since. At first, I thought I would never make it without my career. It was part of me. A huge part of me that I enjoyed and thrived on. But, over the last year or so, it had turned into something much less enjoyable and a ton more stressful. I knew it was time to go. But, I also knew that I didn't think I was cut from the mold that stay at home moms are made from. Turns out, I may be cut from that mold after all. I like and enjoyed it more than I thought. I haven't been committed just yet. And, my daughter is starting Kindergarten in less than a week and I am so thankful that I got these last few months to spend with her and not worry about the hustle and bustle of my 9 to 5. I have had all this time to just enjoy my kids like I have never been able to before. It was amazing!

Hunter will be 2 on Sept 11th and I can't believe it has been 2 years! He is getting huge and starting to talk. He is an amazing soul. One that truly completed this family and I have gotten to raise him and nurture him in different ways than I was able to with Chloe because I have not been busy trying to rush him to school so I can get to work, so I can rush home to pick him up, so I can rush to feed him, so I can rush to get him to bed. For this, I will be forever grateful.

I am super stoked about this new chapter in my life. Something that was so unpredicted, so unexpected, and so scary just 7 months ago...has become one of the biggest blessings in my life. God really does work in mysterious ways!
i will be back blogging as much as possible and can't wait to catch everyone up on where things come from here!

Until next time...CNS
