Five A M

Need I say more?





...probably not the best time or way to initiate my latest creative outlet...I doubt I'll have any great epiphanies or write anything terribly clever...my mind's far too clouded for that.
So, I suppose, that means I'll have to keep it simple. Simple, I can handle...just tell it like it is (if you were looking for something more enthralling, stop reading now and go pick up Twilight).





Today is my last official day of work (skewed horribly by the fact that I've yet to receive one second of shut-eye). It's an interesting feeling...yet a welcome relief as well.


It has been an amazing five+ months since Travis and I got married. I couldn't have found a better man to build a home and a family with (more on that mushy subject in a later blog). That being said, it's been a pretty stressful five months for me as well. We moved into our new apartment the day before I returned to school full-time, and began my new part-time job. Combine all those things with learning to be a wife, and that's quite a handful. Throw in my on-again-off-again health (ugh), and forget about it! I've managed to complete the semester succesfully and get the work done that I needed too...but not in great health. And because of all these things, I feel like I haven't had the time to spend at home that I've wanted or the strength to be the wife that I've wanted to be. Don't get me wrong, I've worked on and in our home a great deal, and Travis' and my love truly deepens every day. We're so happy....but I want to make it even better(!).


It was with that realization a few weeks ago that we decided together that I should quit. I'm taking six credits on campus this summer, along with a total of eight independent study credits that need to be completed by October. That's enough of a commitment itself.

For me, Travis comes first. I want to be with him and be there for him any time he needs or wants me. In order for me to do that I also need to be in the best health I can be, which I can't if I'm just continuing to stretch myself so thin.


This is the right decision for us. As soon as it was made, a giant weight was lifted . I can go to school, do my homework, and then be home with my husband. I won't have to worry about other things. This change will better enable me to be the wife I want to be.
Combine that with the amazingly wonderful husband that I've already got, and I couldn't ask for more.





And that's how it is.
