Everything’s Changing
August 10, 2012 in Life
Change’s are happening, will happen and have happened in my life, my business, and my family. It seems I cannot escape it, whether I want to or not. Some changes are fun and exciting, and other changes are heartbreaking and overwhelming. I believe bittersweet is the best English word that can define my emotions right now.
I recently added photography to my graphic design business. I have three sessions coming up next week, and more on the schedule. I also upgraded to a Canon 7d!! I am excited about this change and the opportunities it will provide to work with families and fun people. You can see more about that here.
All three of our kids will be in school this year. Monkey will just be in a preschool a couple days a week, but that will be a huge change for me! For the first time in 8 years I will not have to hire someone to watch the kids while I work in the office. This change feels odd.
The biggest and saddest change is that we will soon be saying goodbye to our son, a two year old we have been honored to have in our home since his birth. He will be returning home to his parents, who are very excited to have him with them. We will miss him and we are hopeful that we will still be able to be a part of his life in the years to come. This will be the hardest and saddest change.
Soon, I will be the mother of children who are all over the age of 5. They can use the bathroom by themselves. They can buckle their seat belts. They can make their own help with dinner (A girl can dream, right?) What a strange new territory with it’s own unique challenges. This is a mind blowing change. Maybe I’m being dramatic, but it seems like it to this mom!
So, here is to new seasons, ready or not!

Your photo and quote is so fitting with your post. I am sorry about the changes to come, but it I don’t think you are being dramatic. Some changes are just hard to deal with as a mother. HUGS!
Thanks Desirae!
Oh gosh Molly. Those are big changes. And I have never been very good with changes. I wish I had some wonderful words of wisdom to help you through. Be kind to yourself. I can only imagine the push and pull on your heart right now. Wanting the best future for your youngest, but not wanting to let him go. I hope you will be able to continue to be close. I’ll send some prayers up for you all. ((hugs))
On a lighter note, congrats on the new camera!! That’s awesome. And how wonderful to have work lined up. Wishing you all the best in your endeavors!!
Thanks Melissa! We appreciate your prayers.
WOW- you certainly have some major upheaval going on in your life right now. So many changes- all in God’s plan. So hard to trust in him- but I know it will work out well.
Well Molly, if my teary-eyedness makes you giggle…then you can giggle yourself right into a tummy ache cuz I just got VERY teary eyed reading this post. Your beautiful way of putting into words how you feel about what is happening in your life is incredible. I hope and pray that this transition you are going through will be a positive and exciting time for everyone involved.
I love the view through the other leaves. What a great perspective.
I know this transition is tough. I will be praying for you guys.
Beautiful photo, I love the softness and the depth of field. I hope all of your changes lead to bright tomorrows
