Taken for granted.

This post is dedicated to my parents.

Mom and Dad, thank you.  Especially Dad.  I'm beginning to realize what you guys have sacrificed over the years to be home and be around for everything.  No, you guys have never had 8-5 jobs.  That's something you sacrificed.  We've never had a lot of extra money.  That's something you've sacrificed.  And for what, for the ability to stay home with me and my brother and be involved in our education and in our lives.  It never bothered me to not have money because we always had what we needed- you two were there with us through everything from making me pass geometry, to yelling at me to keep running those laps as we spent countless days year after year as a part of the Knight Organizations, to the early mornings spent together, just the four of us in "Bible class" growing closer to God as a family.  Again, I say thank you.  I was very blessed growing with such great, Godly parents.

With this being said, I don't want anyone to feel that I am saying that parents working outside the home is wrong.  This is what my parents chose and it worked for them and me but I am not condemning anyone elses decision.  After all, working outside is the accepted norm these days.

So what brought on this post?  Well, Eric just told me that his business trip got moved and he's going to be out of town instead of here when we had plans to celebrate my birthday.  At first, I was mad.  But then I realized that I didn't have anyone to be mad at.  It's not his fault they moved the trip.  So then I was sad and I began wondering why I was sad?  Its just another birthday, we'll have plenty more to spend together!  I started talking to my awesome friend brandi and with her help, I finally made the conclusion that events like birthdays have always been a big deal in my family because they could be.  Everyone was always around to celebrate.  But Eric has a job.  And he works hard and I'm very thankful for this job and how hard he works and his desire to provide for our future together.  So this is not at all a bad thing, but it is going to be a change, something that I had not realized before today.  

Enough said.
