Big Changes

It's been fairly crazy around these parts. Mostly, because I GOT A JOB. I put myself out there, embraced the fear, and I'm pushing through in my new venture: real estate. I'm currently an Office & Marketing manager for a local agent; and I'm currently working on my license so I can also be a broker.

The other big news is that my sweet baby boy turned 1 a few weeks ago. I can't believe it. He's such a blessing and is handling my transition beautifully. It doesn't hurt that my parents are the ones watching him while I'm at work, they just adore him.

2 months ago, I never would've thought I'd already be on my way to a new career path. The timing couldn't have been much more perfect. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. When one door closes, another opens. Absolutely.

How I Accidentally Became A SAHM

6 months ago, at nearly 30-weeks pregnant, I was fired from my job of 4 years. Before that day, I'd never even had so much as a warning at any job I've held.

Sometimes I still can't believe it, because it caught me totally off-guard, and I'm still quite flabbergasted with the entire situation. The reason why I don't really talk about it in public is because my husband and I were co-workers, and he still works there. The dust has definitely settled, and as I stated in an earlier post, I was going to delve into the details. 

However, after some discussion, because Zac is still with the company we don't feel comfortable publicly disclosing what happened in full.

That being said, it turned out to be such a blessing in disguise. We were pretty outraged at first, and scrambling to figure out our next course of action. But shortly thereafter, we realized we'd be just fine. I was able to finish out my pregnancy by getting as much rest and preparation in as possible before the baby's arrival, instead of worrying how I'd be able to continue working as my stomach grew larger and my body grew weary. 

Life definitely threw us an unexpected twist when this went down, but I tend to believe the phrase "everything happens for a reason." And so far, things are going pretty damn well.

We Meet Again

Well, I just (foolishly?) renewed this domain, so I thought I should probably write something. I've had a couple of major life changes since we last spoke:

-I was fired from my job (the first time that's ever happened to me) at 30 weeks pregnant. I'll delve into that a little more later.

-I gave birth to the most beautiful baby boy on January 21st. We named him Aiden. He'll be 3 months old tomorrow, and I just can't believe it. I can see little changes in him as each day passes, but one thing remains constant: he is the light of my life.

I've been wanting to write more, but have been terribly busy, or just haven't known when to start. But, you've got to start somewhere. And so this is me, starting again. Hello.
