Resignation completion

I finally did it...I turned in my resignation to my boss this week and gave her 30 days.

Let me explain the significance of this post because it deserves the history lesson.

I have been working at this job for nearly eight years! It was my first office job, Eric was 12 weeks old and I was barely 22 years old. I was recovering mentally from my failed relationship with Eric's father and a substance addiction that had lasted five years prior to having Eric in my belly. I had no self-esteem left and I was alone (all my "friends" abandoned me during my pregnancy) to support myself and my beautiful baby boy.

I have met so many great people during the years. The most significant, of course, was John (my now husband). A year after working in the same office we went on our first date. We were married a year and a half later...now, seven years after our first date we have Katie and Eric has been officially adopted by John and we are taking the steps needed to get sealed in the temple next month.

Side note...I also met the family that inspired me to join the church at this job, the Wiltbanks.

During our growth in the church this year we decided that I needed to be spending more time being a mom to these great children of mine, so I am quiting the job that has allowed me to grow into the responsible family oriented person I am today.

When I look back at the way things have found a way to work out I just have to believe that it was meant to be. Life is amazing.

I really am looking forward to the next chapter of my life, but SKS will never be far from my mind and the memories that have shaped my family's life together.
