Leap of Faith
Hello all! Well, I finally did it! I took a giant leap of faith and put in my 2 weeks notice at my job to be a stay-at-home mom! James & I are very excited and nervous about our new adventure. Even after looking over our budget and realizing that we will need to cut back on some "extras", we both decided our family will be blessed if my time is spent at home. It was a hard decision to come to, but after a few months of battling it out in my head, I finally gave in to the promptings I've been having to put my faith in the Lord. I have been very blessed to have a great job and even now they are being great! They have offered to let me take a Personal Leave for 3 months to decide if we can make it without my extra income. So, my trial run starts in 2 weeks! Although I'm nervous, I'm excited to be home with my family and have dinner together on a daily basis. :) I know there will be sacrifices, but these boys are worth it!

I am so excited for you Keri! I'm not going to lie, being a stay-at-home mom has it's challenges, but they are all so worth it. And the sacrifices are so worth it as well. Jon and I have chosen to give up a lot over the years so that I can stay home, but we always learn that we really didn't need those things we thought we did. being a stay-at-home mom is so rewarding for both you and your children as well as your husband. You all will be so blessed!
Way cute picture, by the way!
Steven looks HUGE in that picture! How cool to have two little boys :) Good luck on the transition to staying at home! I sure wish I could hang out with the little ones more - hope it goes well for you.
Sam, he is HUGE! :)
I'm so excited for you! And speaking from experience, things somehow work out when you're willing to take a leap of faith. Before Cooper came along, I was convinced that we wouldn't be able to have kids until our finances were perfect. It wasn't until I was willing to let go of my own insecurities that I was able to recognize the Lord's plan for us. We never would've expected to be in graduate school with a new baby, but somehow, the Lord has provided a way. Good luck!
