Dear Family & Friends
This is probably one of the hardest things I have had to do in my whole life and explaining it is nearly impossible. I've tried everything I could think of to make things work out the way I wanted them to work and finally accepted the fact that heavenly father has another plan for me. Matt and I have decided that I need to quit school. This may come as a complete shock to all of you seeing as I have been and still am a completely determined and committed person but after a lot of tears and discussions about what is more important it just feels right.
I don't want to give up what I do completely but from what we have discussed this just seems like the answer right now. We feel like I need to be doing things but that I need to be doing them at home. If things work out we plan on keeping my computer or finding some miraculous way to get a new one equipped with the programs I need and finding a way to open a business where I can just design invitations and home decor maybe some other things on a scheduled time frame while at home. That way I could focus on our family but still do this when I need to if that doesn't work out then I may just have to give it up completely or try again when I'm a lot older and my kids are grown. Neither of us wants me to let it go completely but we realize that if it doesn't work out that maybe it isn't meant to be.
Thanks for all your support, prayers, and love. We hope you understand.
-Matt, Heidi, and Jaxson

What is there to understand.. You need to do what you feel is best for your family and you. Matt and you make those decissions, we will always support what you two decide in righteousness...
Love Dad!!!
That is a hard decision, especially with the end of school in sight, but family should always come first, and everything else follows after. One of my favorite quotes is "The greatest work you will ever do will be within the walls of your own home." I try to remember that when I start feeling sorry for myself thinking that my life hasn't been all that I hoped for; but at the same time, it's been more than I've hoped for, and I'm sure you can say the same. You will be blessed for the decision that you made. I know from experience that it's hard to juggle work and be the mom that you want to be. There is peace that comes from following the promptings that you receive, and that peace will come. Remember that you are definitely not giving up your dream. If anything, you are putting your priorities in place, and that will make you the best at whatever you decide to do. If you ever want to talk--please call!! Love you!
A pleasing unselfish decision...and one you will never regret!!! I am proud of you...Georgie
Well, said Brandy. Heidi, though the decision was hard you cannot go wrong when you follow those promptings. You have great talent you'll just use it more at home now.
