Life as it once was.. Is no more

As I sit down to write this, my mind is mentally blocking all of the things I was supposed to do while my two babies are sleeping. Two babies.. we now have two kids. Two beings who rely completely on us for their well being. So my view on life and everything in it has been turned up side down and spun around in a million different directions. Although the entrepreneur lifestyle and business is still very apparent in the way we live, our decisions are much more calculated and thought out, and rethought because it is no longer just us. The word "work" has taken on a whole new meaning for me. I have decided to take some time being just Mommy. And although I wasn't completely sure how it would go, I have never been more sure of a decision in my life. Raising my kids. The outside business world in no longer, it is the fishing lure world and the kid world. I suspect just the way God intended it to be at least for now. Even though I am not working outside of the home, I still play my part being a sounding board and a second pair of eyes for my husband and his creation. It has now blossomed into a machine, that if fed correctly produces the most fantastic end product which is success. But along with success and climbing up that mountain, there are always storms, rocks in the way, animals waiting for you to fall or those waiting to try and knock you off. This past year of our lives has been an incredible struggle. The animals are out, and the storms have been severe. But as we have seen so many times throughout this journey, there must be storms to encounter a rainbow. There will always be waves. Some we recover from quickly and others knock us down for longer. But you better believe that my husband and I are the people when we get knocked down, we train and train hard and then get back up not only stronger than ever, but with a vengeance. And you can count on this, we are already teaching our children the very same thing. So as our story continues to unfold before us, we are training, we are growing stronger and leaner, we are adding muscle to our team, and we will continue to listen to our direction. And although life as it once was is no more, the direction we are headed is exactly where I want to be.
