Change is in the Air

A lot of changes have occurred in the Norton home recently.

I quit my job at the Plastic Surgeons office and started back into school full-time. It's a very different day to day schedule! But I am so happy with the decision that I made. I liked working and it helped with our bank account, but it was making home life very hard. Taylor was also working full time and going to school full time. So that left Leah with babysitters 4 days out of the week. Thank goodness we had our wonderful mom's and sister helping out! We were so grateful she didn't have to go to daycare. But it was still hard to know she was being dropped off at a different house everyday.

Anyway, long story short we decided I should quit work, and that gave me the opportunity to start school. I am doing most of my classes online, and just one class on campus. I love it so far! As much as I wish I was farther along in my education, I know that I needed to do it this way. If i've learned one thing in life, it's to just do what works for YOU. Not what works for everyone else, and not even what others think will work for you. So i'm back in school and loving being home with Leah!

Taylor is getting ready to take the MCAT and needs to be putting 20+ hours a week towards that. He also has a rigorous semester so working nights just wasn't going to work anymore.

Things have worked out, and he is taking a few months off from work until he takes the MCAT. Then he will be starting back up, hopefully with a day schedule! So right now we have to be very careful with money, but we are so happy with the changes that have come about. We know we are doing what's best for our family, and we are loving these few months that we can both just focus on school.
