My Wish

When I see this picture I think of the song My Wish by Rascal Flatts and I am reminded of the line..."When one door closes another door opens..."
When I took a leave from school while I was earning my teaching credential and had Caleb, I knew I would go back to finish one day when Caleb was older. I was thankful that I already had my bachelor's degree but it was still hard to stop with one semester left because I felt like I was quiting. At the same time I knew I couldn't have him and finish because of the stress and because I knew that it was more important to have my time with Caleb and my family. I knew school would always be there. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. I don't regret a thing. My time with Caleb has been the most precious gift I could have ever received. The early days were tough. I would watch Dave leave the front door and wish that it was me instead of him getting to leave the house. It was so overwhelming at times. Things are so much easier now for me and I love my days home with Caleb and having the freedom to take him places and the joy of watching him discover new things everyday. My prayer for Caleb is that he will always know that God will place us exactly where we are meant to be. His timing is perfect. More than I can put into words Caleb is the sweetest gift to us. And being blessed with the privilege to be his mom is something I am always grateful for.
