A little bit about ME

I thought it would be a good idea to give a little bit of the back story on me. You already know that I am the mother of two boys. One is 9 and the other is nearly 2. I had my first son during college - quite the unexpected surprise. I somehow figured out how to finish my degree in four years while raising a son - and even got married during my last year of school. After I graduated, I took a job in Corporate America and steadily moved up the ladder over the last five years there. The problem? I am not at all passionate about what I do or what the company does as a whole. I had always wanted to go to law school but somewhere in between graduating, getting a job and buying a new house - I thought those dreams were unrealistic.

Before I had my toddler, I was actually pregnant with another baby boy - that I carried to full term without any problems. Tragically, he died days after he was born due to breathing issues. I was absolutely devastated. Surprisingly, I went on to have my third son (the toddler now here) almost a year to the date that I lost my second baby. God works in very mysterious ways. I hadn't planned on getting pregnant again - but I am so very glad that it worked out the way that it has. The loss of my son has forced me to re-evaluate my life and has drastically changed my perspective. Those dreams I had of becoming a lawyer? I've dusted them off and have decided to just go for it. I realize how short our days on this earth are - and I want to honor the memory of my son by choosing to make a difference and chase my passion. I hope to teach my sons here that no tragedy should break you - and that life is too short to just get by doing something you hate. I don't want to waste another day, I am going for it.
