goodbye corporate america

i've always had a job. since i graduated high school and entered the world of adulthood i've worked and/or have been in school. (okay, there was one summer i didn't, but i had just gotten married).
i enjoyed working at walmart. i learned so much and loved being part of a great company. when ainsley came i knew that i wanted to stay home and be with her. there were things about working i'd miss, but i can say that being a mom is better than anything i expected. i love waiting for ainsley to wake up and smile at me. i love watching her figure out the world around her. i love that i'm there every day to see her grow.
at the end of walmarts fiscal year they give us a nice bonus. to ensure i got mine i had to be an employee as of feb 1st. my maternity leave was up january 11th. i had to go back to work. it broke my heart. if it had been any longer i couldn't have done it. luckily we have an amazing ward and ainsley was with some great families while i worked.

and now i am done.
i can say i did it. i got the job i went to college for. and now i can leave it behind without hesitation. my meeting planners are now playdates and nap times.
thank you duben for working so hard to support our little family.
i couldn't be happier.
