Introduction

Actually my sister-in-law's blog inspired me to do this (Thanks sis!) Maybe this will cut down on the gazillion emails I send a day.

I decided to give myself the title Home Engineer. I used to be a Project Manager in the workforce and when I quit on 12/1/06 I left that title behind and took on the role as full time wife and mother. Though that was extremely common in our Grandparents day and semi common in our parents day it's almost extinct now, due to a lot of reasons...mainly this horrible economy makes it hard to live on one income and some women love working etc.

Anyhow in doing so I quickly learned that when asked what you do for a living people expect some sort of esteemed title and unfortunatly homemaker usually isn't considered one in today's society. Although Sam and I are both happy and proud of what I do, I must admit it does get hard explaining over and over why we chose this path. So since most people care about and are impressed with titles even though they don't always know what those titles mean I decided to give myself one. Hence the title Home Engineer.

This blog isn't to give an opinion on whether women should work outside the home or not. That's a personal decision that should be made between a husband and wife. This is just to chronicle my life not only as a Home Engineer but as someone who left a career behind to do so.

I get a lot of questions on how life has changed and if there are any regrets. Some of you have asked if I miss work or if I get bored at home. So I'll answer those gladly. It's something I actually love talking about so I'll post what I go through regularly and also I'll keep you informed on how life is in the Murry household! I love feedback and don't mind the tough questions!

God Bless!
