How life has changed



I was sitting today thinking about how my life has changed so much in the last 2 years. Before Tristen I worked at a corporate job, 9 to 5 and the whole world revolved around me. I got stressed about having a clean house, nice clothes and the perfect hair. I was focused on my career, I had goals of making millions and knew how I wanted to spend it. I talked about life, politics and gossip. I felt like the world was all mine and I had so many opportunities. Looking back it was pretty shallow but at the time I thought it had substance.

After Tristen I work 24/7 and the whole world revolves around him (and Connor). I get stressed about making sure he is learning something new everyday. That he is eating good foods that will help him grow. Making sure HE has nice clothes to wear and the right toys to play with. I am focused on him and his happiness. My goals are to raise a good man, good husband and good father. I have a masters degree and I talk more about poop and pee than anything else.Now my focus is on all of his opportunities and making goals for him. I feel like my life actually means something now not only because I have this little human being looking up to me and relies on me but also because his life could change the world. That's a huge responsibility and I love that I have a hand in that.

So needless to say my focus has changed a bit and I would not trade it for a second. I don't know how many times people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and it was always to be a mommy. I have my dream job and I could not be happier.
