Bring on the summer!

Well, Memorial Day has come and gone and I feel like that means summer is officially here! Thank goodness, this Froh family needs it! It has been a long couple of weeks for us (as you can tell by no updates), but I must say that things are on the up and up for us. For those of you that don't know, I will be staying home with Maddie. At my previous job at Bradley I was a traveling sales rep covering the west coast. Currently my peers are on the road 3-4 weeks out of the month and that is something that I couldnt dedicate myself to after having Maddie. It was definately a bitter sweet feeling making that decision, but she is #1 in my life, and I would miss out on way too many things if I was gone that long. It feels official now because I went into Bradley yesterday to turn all of my things in as well as clean out my desk. I was laying on the floor playing with Maddie this morning and realized that a lot of things are going to be different now.

1) Running to catch an early flight vs Early morning feedings

2) Carry on luggage vs diaper bag

3) 4 inch heels and dress clothes vs Tennis shoes and T-shirts

4) Gross margins and profits vs Maddie's milestones (holding up head, talking, etc)

5) Crazy CA traffic vs Slow pace stroller rides

6) 40-55hr work weeks vs 24/7

All and all, this is the best decision for our family and I couldnt be more excited. I get the opportunity to teach and mold my daughter all day every day. I traded in my old job for a much harder job though. But at the end of the day, this is the most rewarding job of all. I am rewarded with smiles, giggles, hugs, and love.

I get the opportunity to wake up and see this beautiful smile every day. . . . .



More pictures and updates to come later today . . .I am currently uploading lots of fun pictures!

Love,
Jamie
