That's What I Did, Michelle...

I took the one less traveled!

Last Friday, I received a call from my former employer asking me to call him over the weekend. I called him Sunday night and learned that the apartment community where I now reside has an opening. I was the first person he called and he wanted to know if I wanted the position. This is a larger property that what I had in Savannah plus it is BRAND NEW (something I have wanted for a long time). It would be a raise and considering that Brett just got a raise it would obviously put us in a great financial situation.

I was torn. I called Brett and he said he would support me in any decision that I made. So I prayed...

I called my former employer today and declined the position for now. I prayed for 12 months for an opportunity to be able to spend more time with Cannon and God answered that prayer. I feel that he has blessed my path as a SAHM and with Premier and that is the road that I am going to say on for now.

Everyone says that once Property Management gets in your blood it never comes out. I can totally see that, I do miss it. I miss the challenges, the recognition, the problem solving and yes, even the bad days. I was good at my job and there are days, when I crave to be back at work.

But most days, I feel so unbelievably blessed to be able to hold my son all day if I want to, to spend an hour staring at him and giggling with him, to take spontaneous walks, to "sleep in" with him in my arms, to change his clothes 3 times a day because poop leaked out of his Huggies (I hate Huggies), and to even have "puke" all over the front of my clothes for most of the day!

Right now, I am choosing the take the road less traveled...the road paved with the sweet smell of baby lotion and with the heartfelt sound of little baby giggles!
