Well I thought for our very first blog, we would share our latest news! I have decided to be a stay at home mom/housewife and raise our soon to be two kids. This will probably come as a shock to most who read this because I haven't shared this news at all on Facebook. We are both so excited for this new endeavor we have taken on. This is my last week of work at the radio station.
For several years now Ian and I have been tossing this idea back and forth, weighing the pros and cons, and calculating our finances/budget in order to do this. I feel like this is a perfect time for me to stay home because Rayliana (Chums as Ian and I refer to her as, you may read "Chums" in future blogs so just know that is Rayliana) is halfway through potty training. Also, I feel like I need to prepare her for the next baby that will be here in March! So I will be interested in seeing what kind of response I will receive after friends and family read this blog!
I have received more positive feedback than negative after telling a few people. Usually, the negative feedback comes from mothers who are jealous that they can't stay home! I hate to say that but that's what I've noticed lately. It's amazing how in the last three years, every decision I or we have made, has been ridiculed for some reason or another. I finally decided to stop listening to people realizing the difference between advice and annoying lectures! So in conclusion, Ian, Rayliana, and I are very excited for our "new adventure" that we are about to embark upon. This is the end of our first Big, Bang, Blog!
Best Regards!

ReplyDeleteHey girl! Congrats on the family addition:-) I think it's awesome you'll be a full time momma. Let me warn you, it's way more work than any full time job, but also the best one you'll ever do. I stayed at home with my boys and though it was a bit tight on the finances at times, I'm so happy we did it. I'm sure you'll love it! Oh, and it goes by way faster than you'll ever believe until its over, so enjoy every minute you can. So happy for all 3 of you!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I will definitely be following your blog. What a great medium for communicating and sharing important news. I think your stay at home decision is fabulous. You will never regret it for a minute. Love you guys--and at the risk of being a broken record...Tucson in your future????
ReplyDeleteAunt Sheri, YES indeed! Now, since I will be off everyday, Ian has tuesdays and wednesdays off so I was going to plan with him when we could come up on like a Monday. He's off by noon so we could probably be there by 5:00 and leave Wednesday afternoon or so. Would those days work for you guys? I know it's weird in the middle of the week but I figured if you guys were working we could visit Grandma Lucy.
