For those of you who don't already know, Adam & I are making a big change over the next few months. We have decided that I am going to stay at home with Emery, and quit my work with the American Heart Association. I never thought that I would want to be a stay at home mom, but the last three or four months back at work have been incredibly difficult for me. I absolutely hate leaving Emery and in all honesty my heart just isn't in my work anymore - and that's not fair to my employer, either.
As of December 1st (tomorrow!) I will officially go part time until the end of February. After I finish up my work closing out the Go Red Luncheon that will occur earlier that month, my employment at the American Heart Association will be over. I have spent three years there, and while it is a very stressful job it is also very rewarding, and on many levels I will miss it. However, I know that I am making the right decision to spend more time with my daughter. I know that being at home isn't for everyone, but for us it just feels right. It will be difficult, we know, but worth the sacrifice in the end.

Yay Michelle! That's great. Being able to stay at home with Ellie has been worth all the sacrifices for us. Maybe now I'll actually get to see you guys!
Hi Michelle,
I'm not sure if we've met but I am Jennifer Jones, married to Richard & Betty's son Dickie (Adam's cousin). Adam was actually the ringbearer in our wedding 22, almost 23 years ago. I just wanted to say that you will never regret the decision to stay home with your baby! Our oldest is 20, our youngest 12 and I have been very blessed to have stayed home with them. It is the most rewarding thing you will ever do. Treasure each moment, they go by way to quickly.
