2006 was not one of the better years of my life - in a leap of faith I packed all my belongings into a Budget truck rental & moved 2,000 miles across the country from Idaho to Austin, Texas! It was great to be back where my roots began & be home with my family.
6 months after the move I met my prince charming :) I didn't feel like I was in a place to start a relationship so I tried to keep him at bay... When he asked me out, I had to tell him I wasn't ready to start dating anyone. We proceeded to spend a month "pretending we weren't in a relationship", but it gave us a beautiful opportunity to build a real friendship. On May 15th, 2009 we were married at a beautiful park here in Austin. It was 2 years to the day from the first time Clay asked me out!
My life has dramatically changed over the last few years. I am now in some uncharted territory. For the first time since I was 15 I do not have a paying job. When Kaelynn was 6 weeks old I was laid off from my job. I had worked there for almost 5 years, but with the recession my position had been outsourced to Romainia while I was on maternity leave. Technically I could have fought against FMLA laws, but I honestly felt like God was in the middle of all of it. I am now a full-time stay-at-home-mother & I honestly love it!!!
I never knew I could be as happy today as I am... I never knew that the life I live today was possible... I am so happy that I wasn't really allowed to pick out my life - I would have sold myself so very short! I am looking forward to getting on the blog-wagon & hopefully will be able to have lots more to write about soon!!
