Third Time is the Charm

Well I submitted my THIRD resignation letter of the year today.  After three long months of commuting 90 miles one way and staying with friends, Coach and I have decided that it is not in the best interest of me or us.  While the opportunity seemed good, we feel that God has other (better) plans. 

While I wish I could say that I was going to stay at home and create everything that I've pinned on Pinterest, our bills require me to work. I am going back to a job that I never should have given up -- a job that never felt like "work".  I'm sure most people will think I'm crazy for giving up two really "great jobs" this year.  Unfortunately, the definition  of a good job seems to be one that provides benefits. Benefits might seem great, but after working a handful of jobs, I've come to realize that it is far more worth it to work at something you love doing. 

It seems that a majority of people work at jobs they hate and sacrifice their health, their family and their livelihood... all in pursuit of the American dream.  Well, I'm officially ending this pursuit in my life.  I've decided that life is too short to be doing anything else than what you love...
