I cried when I gave Frito Lay 8 weeks notice. I was scared to give up a successful career to be a stay at home mom. Sure some days over the last 16 months have been crazy and challenging; and I joke to Mikael that I will be updating my resume on those days. But I know in my heart and am 110% sure that I am doing exactly what I am meant to be doing at this point in my life. I love being able to go on vacation whenever we want. And I feel so lucky that when family comes in town to visit, I don't have to worry about taking off work. I will never forget days like the last few when I basically spent all day with my boys, my mom and the Jeppson kiddos. Not a care in the world except what to feed them for meals and what time to go down for naps. I know the term "blessed" is very trendy, but I feel that way everyday. I am surrounded by amazing, supportive family on the Parsonage and Olson side! We have adorable nieces and nephews and I have a feeling watching them grow up together is only going to get better. One of my goals of 2014 was to be more present and really appreciate the small moments in life. I feel like I accomplished that and will continue to do that in 2015. Another goal is to constantly remind those I love how much they mean to me. Life is short and the pace continues to speed up. I am thoroughly enjoying the ride and am so thrilled to be experiencing it with the people in my life.
I was trying to get Christopher to take a nap while I sat on the chair next to my parents bed.... This is how it started out.....
The point of my post is that if I had been working I would probably be stressing about getting him to sleep so that I could finish up work and work on power points while he napped. Instead today it was so fun just playing wth him and trying to get him to fall asleep!
And how can I leave Mason out....too precious!
