Currently, I am a wife doing the best I can to love and care for my husband. We have been married since October 2013, so in many ways I still feel like we are on the learning curve of marriage. In other ways, I feel like we have learned so much about how to love each other well. I am a resigned recruiter, having worked as both a corporate recruiter and more recently, a health care recruiter. My husband is living his dream job (the one he decided upon at the age of six), as a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. I know it sounds awesome, and it totally is! I love that he is so passionate about his career, despite that challenges that arise at times with his crazy, non-traditional work schedule.
I am also a mother of one very imaginative and funny toddler boy. We have a lot of fun together in play, both unstructured and structured learning activities, and in exploring our environment together. His unique personality is so fun to see. I have been blessed with the opportunity to stay home with him, and it has been such a joy for me.
Finally, I am a friend. While I am not necessarily socially extroverted, I do have a few good friends who have been in my life for a number of years, and some who have been in my life for my entire adult life. I love them. I have gained so much joy from these relationships. They have encouraged me, counselled me, kept me accountable, traveled with me, cried with me, laughed with me, been with me through many of my life changes, and much more.
Each of these relationships hold a tremendous amount of value to me, partly because they each define a large part of the person that I am and the choices that I make every day. But also because I have learned that when everything is said and done, and the day is over, what matters most in life is not what I did. What matters most is who I loved. And now I invite you to join the journey of this life with me, to cultivate those relationships that have made you the person you are, and to start living wholeheartedly.
