it should have been an awful birthday. i got laid off yesterday, i'm in a city where i know no one and doug had to work until 10pm. what a way to celebrate 34.
somewhat to my surprise, it ended up being a great day....lots of friends and family called, huston and i hung out, then took a three hour nap in the afternoon, when he woke up he was full of smiles and laughter for the rest of the day. since daddy was working, he also took me to taco bell for my birthday :)
there are so many wonderful things about being a wife, and then you add motherhood to it, and it becomes so much more. i wake up everyday to two handsome men that love me and need me. as much as i have always enjoyed working and moving up the ladder - it doesn't even compare to the feeling that i get when huston rolls over or finds his hands.
although it never feels good to be told that you are not "needed" anymore, being laid off has made me reevaluate what my priorities are. if we can find a way to have me be a stay at home mom, i would gladly take on the challenge. i can't even imagine sending huston off to daycare - i've been lucky that he has been able to stay home with me this long.
doug and i are still talking about what our options are with this new development...in the meantime please keep us in your prayers. alanda told me about a quote a lady told her and it really hit home with me. "God protects those that take care of a child". no matter how things go down the road, i know i have doug and huston there with me and that is what really matters. and because of that, 34 doesn't looks so bad.
