My "OFFICIAL" letter of resignation.
So, I sit here tonight with both an excited spirit and a heavy heart. I am so excited to begin this new chapter of my life. I want nothing more than to be here to watch my baby grow and change. To get to experience things with him as opposed to second hand. To see him take his first steps, hear him speak his first words, and watch him change and grow up. The past seven weeks have already flown by, so I know the future will too and I don't want to miss a second of it. However, my heart is heavy because I know what I am giving up. I'm letting go of a good, steady job in a shaky economy. I'm saying goodbye to the amazing friends I'm used to seeing every day. I'm letting some of my kiddos down who were planning on having me in class again next year. And I'm losing my second home, my school family that I have grown to know and love.
The decision to be a stay-at-home mom was not one that I took lightly, but considered and weighed the pros and cons thoughtfully and carefully. I have relied on my faith and prayed for God's direction and wisdom in this since it even became an option. In reality, deciding to stay at home is a huge step out in faith, because I know that God will have to provide and I will have to rely on him to do so. It's not going to be easy...money will be tight and sacrifices will have to be made, but in the end, I think it will be worth it. I could not have asked for a more supportive husband and family in my decision. Therefore, regardless of what I have to give up or sacrifice, I know this decision is the right one.
I'm going to have a new place of employment--home, a new job--Stay-At-Home Mom, with a new job title--Mommy, and a new boss--Colt. In fact, here's a picture of my adorable new boss...
He's getting so good at holding his head up!
