Hello Babes! Wow its been a long time since I've checked in. Life has been crazy, as it always is for most of us! I wanted to get on here and give a little life update and some words of encouragement. I am currently back in New York with my husband. This trip will have been 3 weeks, I fly back to Kansas early next week. He was in Kansas prior to this trip for 1 week... which means we got a whole month together after being apart for 5 months! Needless to say I have been enjoying time all together again and putting the blog aside.
If you know me personally you know I am a stay at home mom with jobs on the side to keep me busy! I have been working at a chiropractic office for 9 years this July (wow time flies!) and also a local boutique both in Kansas and both very part time. I added another part time job to my plate shortly after Beau was born as a remote phone concierge for a salon on the east coast called Pink Soda. I took a sabbatical for a lack of better wording for about 7-8 months from there just with all the stress that was happening in my life with my husband moving across the country and me plus 3 kids staying in Kansas. It was a lot and truly still is living apart but during that time I wanted to focus on family. Pink Soda warmly welcomed me back in May with a different position, something I can still do completely remote whether I'm in NY or KS and with all 3 jobs I still have plenty of time to focus on life and family!
I saw a quote the other day that read "The secret of being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of everyday." I made myself re-read that again and really understand every word. I would be completely lying if I said I wasn't struggling with my family's living situation right now. Military life is not easy. I know a lot of families are split apart and in the same situation as us. Often we, or at least myself, need to be reminded of the bigger picture. My husband has put in 18 years in the Army, that is 18 years of sacrifices. I know I will look back in 10 years and these few years apart will be just a sliver of our lives together. If you yourself are going through a difficult season of life right now, always look for the rainbow, it is there, we just have to look a little beyond to see it sometimes. I know that through every situation, easy or difficult, God is with me to help get me through it.
Xoxo,
Cass
