A New Journey

In April, I decided to leave my job and become a stay at home wife. Many people may think I am crazy - I have no kids, this is a good time to keep working. But I don't really care what society says - I've never really cared much what they say, actually! We live in a world that's all about money and all about the big fancy things you have. Don't get me wrong, I like nice things. I like my home to look nice. I like to wear nice pretty clothes. I like that we have a boat we can go have fun on. But I sometimes long for the simplicity in life. So maybe I won't get any new furniture for a while, or always have a new outfit to wear, and we may not get to use that boat as often as we would like. But what will I have? Time. Time with family. Time with friends. Time for the important things in life.

Then, at the end of May, Joe left the police department and went back to work on the farm with his dad. There were several factors that helped us make this decision. One big factor was his work hours. The continual change between day shift and swing shift and night shift was beginning to take it's toll on Joe. He may now be working longer during the day - but he is home every night! That is so awesome!

In both instances, however, we have truly felt God leading us down this new path.

So, let the journey begin!
