We've definitely had some really difficult moments as a family lately, my husband has been unemployed or under-employed for several years now and has had to work multiple terrible jobs just to stay afloat. I wanted to go straight through grad school after my undergrad but it just wasn't in the cards financially, and my business was just taking off during my senior year of college - so I took a risk when our life was more stable and it paid off for when the stability dropped out from underneath us. Now I feel like I can straddle both worlds - motherhood and a career, and I still feel young enough to jump into something new should the opportunity arise.Elizabeth Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239982726761604896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548100046890783804.post-25743381869965098072012-04-27T22:32:26.937-04:002012-04-27T22:32:26.937-04:00Congratulations on your second child! I hope your ...Congratulations on your second child! I hope your pregnancy goes without a hitch! May I just say, that I absolutely admire your patience and honesty in regards to yourself. I am 22 years old. I am definitely at that point where I'm trying to make my way through school so that I can provide for the family I want to have. I admire you because I cannot imagine myself having the patience to push through a difficult time like that. I know I would because I want it so bad, but you have such a positivity about your situation and I think I would succumb to my negativity.<br /><br />Had you proceeded onto school or had another child, everything happens for a reason and for good reason! Congratulations again! I'm glad your wish was granted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
