My life has not gone in the direction that I thought it would. 5 short years ago, back in 2007, I was in the middle of college not even sure where I would be in the next 2 years. I am a big picture kind of thinker and I thought I had my life planned. I wanted to go to dental school and my heart was set on a school in Boston. I wanted to be married but Fred was applying for medical school and I knew it would be hard to get into the same school so I wasn't planning on anything. If I had to guess where I would be I would say I would be in dental school and married but I couldn't guarantee it would be to Fred. A child might be in there somewhere but I always thought I wanted to be a working mother, yep I wanted it all: career, family, a great husband. 
I never would have guessed what actually happened. I decided to postpone dental school (which now is no-go and I am completely happy with that) get married, move to Missouri, then to Ohio, have a baby, and be a stay at home mom. I love my life, I don't think it could have turned out better. Married my best friend in 2009. I have gotten to live in places I never thought I would have. And 5 months ago I had my son. I am a stay at home mom and I think that is the best job in the world and I hope this is my job for the rest of my life.
Isn't it funny how things work out? Once upon a time I wanted to go to dental school too! However, that obviously didn't work out and now I am still trying to figure out what I want to be when I "grow up." I am so happy you're happy as a momma, don't ever let anyone tell you its not a job, because it most def. is! You are so great with him!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are happy with you life. It is a hard step having your first child but I find that you learn a lot about yourself when you devote your body and basically your entire life to someone else.
