New Beginnings

It has been a whirlwind few days and a stressful few weeks but after countless months of unhappiness, I left my job. It didn't really happen how I'd expected it to and it certainly all went down faster than I thought it would, but now that it's all done, I feel so much relief. I'm not going to go in to all the details, because frankly, who cares? I will say though that it was hard, it was scary and it was stressful. I laid awake many, many nights praying for direction and a path and clarity and now I have it. God works in mysterious ways but if you ask, He will deliver in one way or another. When it comes down to it, life is just too short to be unhappy.

As much as I would love to stay at home full time with my baby girl, I will still be working. I have a couple of different things lined up to allow me to be home with Kenley more while still contributing financially to our family. I'll share more about my new career path another time, but for now my official job title is: Part Time Stay At Home Work from Home While Working Mom. 

Aside from leaving my job, these past few days have brought some other big changes. We had to buy Jason a new car last week, which is pretty exciting. - he got a Kia Optima whom I named Henry {because he's married to my car Harlow, of course}. I had to get a new phone and a new phone number because my phone was a business phone. I've had the same number for 6 years so I was nervous about it, but it actually felt good to have a fresh start with a fresh number {and weed out those people I don't talk to anymore}. And finally, I decided to cut what the lady said was 5 inches off my hair. Either way, a fresh start equals fresh hair, right?

Before & After:

So anyways, to all my real life friends and my blog friends THIS would be why I've been a little absent and distracted lately.

HAPPY MONDAY! And for once, I really truly mean that!
