We’ve been praying for this day for years and it has finally happened.

I emptied the drawers. I cleared off the computers. I took the pictures off the walls. I said my goodbyes and I turned in my keys.

After 9.5 years, it was time to go.

I’m going to miss this building. I’m going to miss my office and the videos I have gotten to edit. But mostly I will miss the people. I think the success of nearly every job in the world is whether or not you like and respect the people you work with, and I certainly have for the past decade. I will miss them.

Today was pretty difficult. I didn’t realize how much I had worked myself up to it until I was halfway home and the adrenaline subsided and exhaustion took over.

But I’m lucky. I’m fortunate. I’m blessed to be getting this opportunity to be home with our kids. In the midst of tying up all the loose ends today, I also purchased our curriculum for this coming year. We are very excited to see what God has in store for our family as our future unfolds.

Thank you for all of the well wishes!!
