Changes and more changes

So I sat down Monday morning and ran some figures and it turns out that it would be cheaper to keep our house with me staying home than it would be to buy a new one, soooooo we took our house off the market. I cannot tell you how nice it is to leave a dish in the sink or my sox on the floor and no one will see it. Some other numbers I ran were my salary compared to how much daycare I am going to be paying during the summer and what that left me with and how much we actually needed to cover bills. It turned out to be $200. So Jesse asked me when I was going to quit and he told me it would be nice if I could stay at home with the boys for the summer. So after much planning, finding health insurance and running the budget over and over I have decided that May 29th will be my last day at Fidelity Bank after 5.5 long years. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to it and so is Jesse and the kids. It really scared me at first b/c I have worked ever since I was 15 and the only year I stayed home was when I was pregnant with Ben. It will be nice to get out of that environment though. You have a hard time keeping the spirit with you in a place like that. I think it will be awesome for the kids, we are going to join the summer reading club at the local library, go to the zoo, get Ben prepared for 1rst grade, and do fun projects around the house. All thanks to my wonderful hardworking husband whom none of this would be possible without. His support and encouragment through the years has meant so very much to me, and on top of that he is not a bad father! Go figure! I am very lucky and I thank heavenly father every day for the many blessings he has brought into my life.
