Resignation
This week I cut the cord, closed the door, put a nail in the coffin...at least for now. I officially resigned from my teaching job. Probably not a big surprise to anyone, as this has been my goal.
The process of actually writing the official letter was so much more bittersweet than I expected it to be. I mean, as soon as I got the "baby bug" I was mentally done with teaching, so these emotions caught me off gaurd.
When I look back on my "adulthood," it seems to move in 4 years cycles....high school, college, teaching. Each chapter closing was emotional, yet I was so ready to move on to the next phase of life.
I guess what I am saying is I am grateful for the years I had in the classroom, especially for the lessons I learned about myself and children which will come in handy in my new career as a domestic engineer.
Also, I want to acknowlegde how incredibly blessed I am to have a husband who finds it so important for me to spend my days with our son. And how wonderful my God is for providing us with a way to actually make it happen.
Once again...if God puts a desire in your heart, he is going to see it through!

Wonderful post! I'm very happy for you! We aren't to the point that one of us can stay home yet, but it's in the plans. :) Enjoy every minute!
