Came home after being away for a week in San Felipe to a house decorated and a birthday cake ready for me. This job has a lot of perks but one downside to it is missing special moments with family. We miss birthdays, anniversaries, first days of schools, mothers/fathers days, and many other holidays. The key is to have a strong support system back at home or it won’t work and luckily I have
@mrsjamiez at home to keep the fort down while I’m gone all the time. Also lucky to have some pretty cool people at the races who go through the same struggles at home with having a career that while takes you to some cool places but also at the same time takes you away from family. Trust me this isn’t a whoas me post I’m very grateful to be able to do what I do but just wanted to be open about there are hard parts about it as well that puts a toll on families. When the kids were young they didn’t really know what was going on but now that they are all older another week away after being gone for the previous week takes it’s toll. Do what you love and surround yourself with people that love you!
