I, myself, have been doing some growing lately. The adult part of me has moved into management in the childcare field. It was a tough decision because I had to choose money or future benefits. Right now, we really need the money (so I guess you know which one won?). I've also realized something about our devotion to the people we love. Since moving out here, we've made several trips out to visit other people. The reciprocated visits have been very few. That makes me think about our value to those of us around us. Not in the "poor me" way, but in the way of what are they willing to sacrifice to keep in contact with us. For a while, we were driving about 150 miles just on Saturday and Sunday....that got old really quickly.
We've also been debating some decisions we made when we were first married. We decided we would wait until we were done with school to have children. Well, there are some hurdles we have encountered with this decision. First, I really love kids and want them reaaaalllll soon. Second, I am an adult and I realize that right now I work 40 hours a week and do school the other waking hours. This does not leave much time for a child. And, I would not want to bring a child into this situation, it just isn't fair to that sweet baby.
Anyways, I think these things have just needed to be written. They've been weighing on my heart and I know that writing helps alleviate those things.
Well, onward and upwards!
P.S. I'm really excited about my new job!!
