And so it begins..

Yesterday I called my VP to let him know that I was resigning from the company to stay at home and become a stay at home dad. Surprisingly he took it very well and the positive responses that I have received from everyone at the company is very reassuring. The GREAT news is that I don't have to travel the final two weeks of work, which is such a relief for the family. Now I just have to start concentrating on all the activities that I will be doing with my daughter so I won't lose my mind. :)

Hi. My name is Mike and this is my story...

I'm your "typical" guy I suppose. I went to college, have a house in the 'burbs, a lovely wife and a beautiful 15 month old daughter named Katie. But that's where "typical" stops. You see, my wife and I were tired of running around with our heads cut off every day trying to make ends meet. We felt as though there wasn't enough time for "life", meaning - spending time with each other and ESPECIALLY being able to raise our daughter. So, collectively, we decided to make a decision. I'm about to quit my job and stay at home to become a full time stay at home dad. This is the first entry of I'm sure many of my story and adventures in Parenthood from the front lines. So, check back from time to time. I'm sure some entries will be humorous, some heartbreaking and some just interesting stuff to pass the time away. Thanks for checking it out. I'm sure it's going to be one heck of a ride!
