RETIREMENT
So it's official! I am done working, Friday was my last day. It was a bitter sweet day, here is a picture with me and all my friends that I worked with. (Some for the seven years I have been in the business.) I am afraid though the job I have retired too will in some ways be harder but more fulfilling (I am talking about being a mom for those who haven't caught on yet and if you don't think that being a mom is alot of work or hard sometimes you live in a fantasy world). I am excited though to start a new chapter in my life and the fact that Easton is so excited makes me even happier. I will miss it though I loved my job and working, there was something about it that made me feel needed and important. I was Amy Jensen not just Eastons mom or Devins wife, not that those are bad things. I will miss my clients, friends and most of all working with my dad. It was fun to see him in a different light and what a smart, fun, hard working guy he is! He really is the best at what he does. Anyway I feel completely blessed though that I get to stay home and be a mom. I also am thankful for the seven years I got to work hard, experience and learn so much not just about my job but myself.
Yay - I'm happy for you to be able to focus on Easton and Gracie as a mom. But I also understand the need (and want) to work so you are a "person". Before you know it, our kids will all be in school and we'll be back at it again!
Funny Things that Easton says or does........(well atleast I think so)
Sometimes when I get up in the middle of the night to help him with his asthma and then go to give him a love and he says as he is turning away from me "Mom, your breath really stinks"! Kids are so honest.
The fact that he knows the words (I mean almost every single word) to any John Mayer, Jack Johnson, or Tim Mcgraw song. Some of his favorites are; "World to Change" and "When the Stars go Blue". When he was a year and half old he knew the chorus to "Had a bad Day" by Daniel Powder.
When he was leaving to Oregon a couple of weeks ago to go have his teeth fixed (it's a long story) and I said "Easton, I am going to miss you so much" and he said "Don't be sad mom because when I come back my teeth will be fixed and you will be happy". Wow does he really know me or what.
The other day after we had gotten home from 7-Peaks Easton was hanging all over and my arms had gotten really burnt. I said "Easton stop hanging on my arms they hurt because I got sunburned". He responded "Well maybe you should have put on sunscreen then"! Isn't he the best.
The other night we were having sloppy joes for dinner and we asked Easton to give the blessing. In which he always asks me to help him. He started out like he normally does and then paused for me to help him so I say, "Bless the food" so he says it along with adding "except for these stupid sloppy joes because I don't like them". I couldn't believe it he is such a stinker sometimes!
My name is Amy Jensen. I have been married to the love of my life (Devin) since February 2006! I have a smart cute and full of it little boy named Easton and a beautiful little girl named Gracie. We all adore her and think she is so sweet. I have worked in the Title Insurance business for seven years and then made the big decision to be a stay at home mom which I have been doing since the beginning of Summer of 08' My kids keep me busy and crazy, I love every minute of it! My husband Devin owns and runs his own business, a group home for troubled youth. He loves what he does and works very hard. We love him and our proud of him for it. Other than all that I love being a wife and a mother and wouldn't have it any other way!
