As I mentioned in my last post, I am certainly not opposed to working outside of the home. For this season of life, it is not the option we are going with, but that does not mean I am set on staying home for the rest of my days! I am not sure what the future will hold in our family, but if there would come a time where the kids are in school and we are settled in one place, I would certainly be interested in doing work, probably part time.
So the next question people usually ask is “What would you want to do?” I mentioned that I had done some work towards starting my masters in nutrition. I have not ruled out going back and completing that degree at some point. And that may even start before the kids are older. I am interested in not only nutrition, but also fitness. So I have also looked into studying more on personal training and possibly getting a certificate or two there. Both of these areas are subjects that appeal to me for a variety of reasons:
1. I am already interested in these areas and get really excited when I think about helping people with their health.
2. In working in these settings, there is often flexibility to work part time or set more of your own hours. Just because I work outside the home, I still want to be available for Joe and the kids.
3. These are areas where I could serve Joe, as his desire is to coach when he is done playing (more on that in a later post), and also the rest of our family. Being well-informed in the areas of nutrition and fitness is a way I help to better the lives of our kids.
So we will see where the Lord leads us in the coming years. For right now, I am trying to stay on top of the areas of nutrition and fitness in simply reading and learning while Joe trains.
