Celebrate

Todays post is dedicated to my beautiful wife.  One year ago today, she got the opportunity to do something she had always wanted to do, more than climbing the corporate ladder, competing for bragging rights or a company car.  She was gifted the chance to be a stay at home mom.  For years we had talked about it, attempted to plan towards it, ultimately, we came to realize that plans don't often understand that life changes we have did not have control.

Some of the best, most amazing things that have happened in our lives, those that have given us the deepest meaning and most satisfaction are completely, 100% out of our control.  It has been a massive change, I am certain that there were very romantic views of what being at home would be like.  The reality on the surface is, however, far different.

I/we was extremely driven, mainly financially and goal focused, with that being said I have felt very fortunate to have this very unique opportunity.  I can't possibly imagine a more rewarding experience and I can see the positive changes in my kids everyday.  Melissa, you truly are a wonderful wife and mother.

We enjoyed a little celebratory break and had an evening out at Brewforia.  Exciting to try more of the new local craft beer (or soon to be local) in 10 Barrel Brewing's, India Session Ale.  Delicious!

Cheers

My beautiful bride
