Early Retirement

Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted to work in skyscrapers and wear business suits. She grew up, went to college, and started living her dreams. She spent time working in London riding the subway to and from work everyday. She worked five busy seasons and put in many long hours. She spent lots of time in airports and flying to different clients. She wore heels, had business meetings, and hauled around her laptop. She was living the dream.

Then one day after an early morning train ride to Chicago, she found herself outside walking through streets looking up at all the skyscrapers. She remembered the girl with a dream to work in skyscrapers and wear business suits. As she felt the baby kick and wiggle within her, she realized she had fulfilled that dream and had much bigger dreams to live. Months later as she held that baby in her arms she knew skyscrapers and business suits were a thing of the past, and she wanted to spend everyday at home with her baby girl.

I am finally living THE dream! Friday was my last day of work, and now I am officially a stay-at-home mom. I love it! Look at this cute girl that I spend all day, every day with! Lucky me!
