A Change of Plans

Mark's birthday always falls during the heart of Memorial Day weekend. So, when he turned 1 I started a Turtle Back Zoo tradition and always took the kids to the zoo the Friday before his birthday and we always had good weather. This year it's going to rain. So John and I decided to take the kids to NYC to meet everyone in his office and to go to the Museum of Natural History. Tomorrow I'm going to bring the kids to the library to research elephants and dinosaurs because they are going to love seeing the cool elephants and dinosaurs on Friday! Sometimes a change of plans is a good thing!  And we are hoping the weather will be fantastic the next week because we still owe our red head a fun trip to the zoo!  (I can't believe my baby boy is turning 4!)

I'm so thankful for Julia...Mark...and Micah.

So proud

Dear John,

I am so proud of the man you've become.
In 2009 you decided to switch gears and start a new career. We had a two year old and a 6 month old at the time. It was risky and it was right at the start of our economy's decline. But you hung in there and trusted God. Through much prayer we are seeing the fruit of all your labor. Not only have you succeeding in passing the three year program at Morgan Stanley, but you have been doing amazing with your clients, traveling, doing seminars, and now going for your CFP.  Words cannot express how proud I am of you and how thankful I am for all your provision. God has really blessed us to allow me to be home these past 6 years raising our little ones. That is no easy feat in this poor economy, but you have gone above and beyond to keep me home like we planned.

Congratulations on being awesome! Congratulations on passing all those financial series tests. You did it!!! I'm your biggest fan!!!
