Two Weeks!!

I did it. I gave my two-week notice at work today. I still can’t believe this is happening. Not everyone gets this opportunity. I will never take it for granted. I will cherish it. I will take it seriously. I will enjoy every single minute of it. I am so thankful.


Two years, four months and one day ago Addi started daycare. One year and 27 days ago Brogan started daycare. Countless tears were shed during this time (not by them, by me). Leaving them never really became easier. My heart hurt. I missed them. I didn’t want to be at work. And now, here I am…finally about to bear the title I’ve longed to have for so long, I will be a Stay-At-Home-Mom!!!

God, You are good. You were good through the pain. You were good through the stress and chaos. You were good when I wasn’t good to You. I was mad at You. You listened to my frustrations and then You would comfort me. How I must have pained You. Yet, You were faithful when I was unfaithful. Faithful you will stay.

Jared, You are an incredible husband. Aside from God, you bore the brunt of my frustrations. I hurt you. I was mean – horribly mean. I was so angry. You didn’t deserve it. You persevered. You remained steady. You worked even harder. You didn’t give up…on me or on my dream. God made this possible, but He used you to help make this possible. Now, I get to help make your life a little easier (no more dishes and vacuuming for you!) I am forever grateful.

Two weeks to go. In some ways it’s felt like an eternity getting here, in some ways it still feels like an eternity to get there. Two weeks until the next journey in our lives begin. I cannot wait!
