I expressed to him that Heavenly Father has blessed us since I made the choice to stay home and raise the kids. Mike's been able to provide and though it may be tight, there are doors that open to help us get through the hard times. I won't say that I have been tempted to go work part time, but I have seen that happen with others and it seems that once they are away from home, things pop up that keep them out in the working world. I know sometimes there is no choice and I pray that we will always have the choice for me to stay home. I love it though it is challenging and hard at times.
I went to lunch with some old co-workers on friday and then stopped to see my old boss for a minute to visit. It brought such a strong impression on me that I just don't miss the work. I do miss some of the associations with my former co-workers but I feel I am happier not to be there.
I guess this Thanksgiving, I am grateful that Heavenly Father blessed my family as I stay home with the kids. I just hope that we continue to do the best we can to keep it that way. I am also grateful for my wonderful Husband. Mike is truely my best friend in life and the only regret that I have is that we did not meet sooner. He means so much to me that I can't imagine life without him.
And to my sweet son, Levi and his soon to be brother, Hunter...I love being with you even on days that life can be difficult. I hope to be the mom you wish me to be.
