I've been able to be there, in our home.
For the past 5 weeks, I traded one day of being out of the house working for 6 days at home. I've learned so much about myself in these past 5 weeks. I've made realizations that will hopefully translate to a better homelife next wedding season, you know, when I'm doing this full time [gulp].
Four years ago, I went back to work when Isaac was 7 weeks old. It was not a pretty scene. Growing up watching kids go to daycare and Moms go to work, I thought I understood how it worked. My expectations of motherhood however were wildly off base and I wasn't prepared, in the least, to return to work. I latched onto the idea of a photography business and clung to it, desperately as my hope for a different life.
Four years later, with God's blessing and provisional hand, we're almost there.
Today is amazingly difficult, but I have faith.
The gig is up, for now.
