Big Decision

So, I made my first life changing decision. I put in my two weeks notice at my job. I had been thinking about this on and off for the past 2 years but not seriously until the past few months...and finally after talking with my husband we both agreed it would be best for our family. It was such a big decision that I felt so much anxiety about it. It was a very difficult decision for me. Of course I've wanted this and dreamed of it but to actually do it? The day that I told my boss I felt like I was going to vomit. But afterwards I felt so much relief. I am so excited to be able to be home with my son. It's like this long distant dream that I still can't believe will be my reality soon. Of course our family will have to sacrifice some things, mostly financial. But I do think our life will be less stressful. There are so many factors that have led to this decision that I just feel like it is the right thing to do. I can feel it in my heart and that is a feeling I have not had in a long time.

Changes

I can feel the changes coming. That is one of the reasons I am starting up this blog again. I am so excited to get back to, well, me! I think the past few years I have neglected myself. I've transitioned to motherhood and boy has it been full of challenges. I love being a mom, but my biggest challenge with motherhood has been balance. Being a working woman, wife, and mother is difficult. It's hard to make time for myself and the things I enjoy. After a lot of thinking I have decided to make necessary changes to better the quality of my life. I am still in the planning phase but I am so excited. This is the first time in a long time that I am making decisions for me. I'm starting to realize a happy me means I can be a better mother and a better wife. A happy me means I can be a better person in general. I am starting to realize that although there are times in life where we feel stuck in our current situations, we still have control of our lives by our choices. If you don't like something, well, change it. It may not be the ideal situation at first, but small changes can help you get closer to where you want to be. I'm so excited to document the changes I make in my life!
