A Decision

Well I made a step in a big decision for me, and ultimately our little family.

I'm quitting work.

Hallelujah!

And a bit of sadness as well.

Remember how I've been at my job for almost 6 years?  Pretty much kept the HR department running - not to brag too much.  And during those years had some "I hate my job" moments mixed in with "oh, work is fun, flexible and I'm learning a ton that I like" moments.  It's a sacrifice in my HR/training career.  But I know this is best for me at this time.  And hopefully a good thing for Tyson too.

I'm going to be a stay-at-home mom :)

I've been working from home since October, part-time, and while I was hoping my work would let me just stay home and work... I knew it wouldn't last.  So, instead of sending Ty off to daycare, we are going to stay home together.  Last day working, still to be decided but by 12/31.

We'll hopefully figure this stay-at-home mom stuff out.

And we're gonna be poor.  And that's okay.  Dental school and me not working will be tough, but we just have to trust what we feel is right.

Not sure if I've mentioned it, but since I was young I always said I wanted to be a Mom when I grew up.  Even picking a major at BYU I knew I wanted more.  And I know I have only a TINY idea of what I'm in for!!  I'm nervous and excited, and think I better get as much sleep and my stuff done now that I can before I have a mobile child :)

But I sure love this little guy and we are going to have lots of adventures together.
Sometimes I may have those "I want to quit" moments, or at least take a vacation...
but there will be so many good moments it'll all be worth it.
