I have found my joy...

Well tomorrow is my last day at work. It is definitely bitter sweet. I have made such great friends at work and I am going to miss seeing them all the time, but getting to see Aiden grow before my eyes every day will be priceless. I received a sweet devotional from a friend at work earlier in the week that I want to share and it just sums up why I'm staying at home........

There's an old saying that says, "You can't take it with you." Although the world will offer you all kinds of things that seem shiny and exciting, they will all fade. Money, cars, ipods, careers.....these things will bring you joy and satisfaction for a while, but in the end, where will you have found your joy? As you walk through this week, look for the things in your life that will stand the test of time. Look for the love, the compassion, the opportunities for giving. Try to discover the things that bring you joy that don't come with a price tag, and then get as much joy as you can while you're here on this earth!

I have found my joy and I'm so glad I will be with him everyday.....And I'm so grateful to have a husband that supports me in doing this. I love you both....

Congratulations! I know what a huge decision that is to transitioning to SAH-mom. Please let me know if you need anything. As wonderful as your adventure will be it can be challenging at times. Danielle Davis
