New Decisions

Well for now I think we have our mind a little more made up. I have been thinking long and hard about the whole what I am suppose to do with the next chapter of my life but I have been frustrated and kind of confused. The other day I had been pondering if I would take a job in Mount Pleasant if it was offered to me because I put in an application and my father in law said he would pull strings. So I felt that maybe I was directed in that way and also I feel in some ways that I should at least work a year so I am not putting my education to waste and such. All the same though we would have to move and Joe might not find a job up there and we are some what ready to move on to a new chapter in our lives as far as family and what not so that was in question too. Any way so I felt very over whelmed and I got to thinking about what I really wanted and....... it is to just get some other sort of job and wait for the time to come when we are ready to have children. So when we finally decided that we aren't going to take the job I felt a lot of relief. A good friend of mine said that in the eternal perspective Heavenly Father isn't going to not bless you for starting a family. It's not like he would rather me teach in the real scheme of things. Anyway I felt better about things and I realized that my education isn't at all wasted I have learned more than I could have any other way. It will help me as a mother and in life in general. So we are here in Cedar until plans change more. It is a lot nicer when we choose to take it one step at a time instead of worrying about everything all at once. Love ya all! Lea

It sounds like the decision you two made is the right one. The relief that comes after finally making a decision like that is unmistakable.

You are not wasting your education in any way by not teaching. There are things that as a mom no book can teach you, but you having persevered through four years of college will shows the patience and hard work that will definitely come in handy when raising a family - whenever that may be. Don't let anyone tell you when the right time for you is. When you're really ready you'll know, and that will be the time that is best for your family!

We love you and Joe and are proud of all you do!

Having a degree is the best life insurance policy you could ever have. Don't ever think for one minute that if you don't use your teaching certificate to teach that it was all a waste. It may come in more handy than you can ever realize right now. :)

Happy late birthday!
