After JP was born, we decided that I would stay home. We always valued our own SAHMs and thought it would be important for our future children to have a full-time parent always available, too. We feel it's the best for little JP. However, I had such a fabulous job, with fabulous people, and it was painful to actually quit. I considered working part-time, but in reality, I think that would be harder than full-time. I wouldn't be 100% at home nor 100% at work. So, with tears, I resigned.
I'll miss seeing them every day, I'll miss Kathy's accent, I'll miss the Castle lunches, I'll miss "boo-ing" people in staff meetings, I'll miss the Red Sox/Patriots debriefs the mornings after games while I pretended to know who they were talking about (Go Steelers!), I'll miss the development part (hey! I actually did some work, I swear), and I'll miss the laughing...we laughed a lot! It really was a fun place to be for two years. Who knows! If we're in Boston for a few more years, I might be able to go back. But, until then, I intend to stay very close with all of them. That's right, guys! I'll be crashing into the Lawson House often!!!
Here are a couple photos from the party they had for me on Monday (click to make bigger):
But, as much as I love and will miss these guys, this little guy more than makes up for it:
And now, I won't be missing anything!
