I’m very excited to be posting today at my dear friend Bronwyn’s blog for her “Words That Changed My World” series. You can read a snippet here and the link for the rest is below. Be sure to check out the rest of her site while you’re over there– she is one of my FAVORITES!
I do not recall the exact words of the conversation, just the echoes of her question remains. Something to the effect of: why load your future family down with the debt of an expensive degree you don’t really need to do what you’re supposed to do—be a stay at home mom?

I have looked back on this moment often, almost unable to recognize the girl who smiled and nodded away her hopeful ambitions with almost no second thought.

So, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, I laid down my plans for the “big picture.”
