Growing up I knew I wanted to be in a career that helped others. Of course, I wanted to be rich too. I couldn’t be a doctor or a nurse because I hated blood and death. I couldn’t be a lawyer because I am just not that ruthless no matter how hard I try. (Just don’t ask DH). I thought about a teacher and even took College classes. I entertained the idea of being a business woman. Why? Because what woman doesn’t look sexy in a suit and heels? Then about my 2nd year of college, I took a class. That class changed my life. It was a sociology class. We did a small section on Psychology. All of a sudden, I felt my calling. I wanted to know what made people tick. I got my Associates degree in Psychology and was on a strict educational road. I planned to have my Bachelors in 2 years and move straight to my Ph.D. I knew it would be tough but that’s what I wanted. I dreamed of having my own practice and helping others.
Then I got side tracked. Something went wrong with my plan. I put my plan on the backburner because I was told that I could start again after a year. When I came to realize that I was being deceived, I left. I realized my marriage was over because of someone’s selfish and deceitful ways. I immediately began my original plan again. Started taking classes and did great. After my first semester, I met Stoney. After starting my second semester, I decided to take some time off and re-evaluate. During that re-evaluation, I realized I knew what I loved doing. I loved being home and with my babies. I wanted to be available to them to help them grow. While I am still fascinated with Psychology, I am beyond fascinated with watching my child grow and learn. I also have a wonderful and supportive husband to help me live my dream!







Thanks for sharing! I will admit I do think a woman in a suit and heels is pretty darn sexy.
I’m so glad you are able to spend your time at home with your children! My wife is out of work now (the learning center she was at closed for lack of funding), and it makes my heart smile to know she’s at home with our 3 year old son. I’ve always wanted her to be able to stay at home with the kid (or kids if we have more). We’ve been working on paying off debt for almost 4 years and we’re finally at a point, along with my promotion this year, that she’s able to be at home full time. I’m so glad your husband is supportive of you as well!

Matt, I have to say that my husband feels the same way! When we were struggling, I said I would get a job. He said NO WAY. He would rather work an extra overtime shift which would make up for my paycheck! You men are amazing for giving us this opportunity.
I have tried college 5 times and I can’t finish because I have only ever had respect for 2 of my professors. When I’m teaching the class, there is a problem!
