Marriage & Family

 As I was blog surfing I ran across this post ! I really liked it so wanted to share it with all who read my blog. As far as the video....I had never heard this song before, the words are great ! Take time to listen !    Making time for family is so important!  Dan made a huge decision to leave a pretty good paying job about 10 years ago.  He was gone all the time, so he thought it was more important to be home and be there for our kids.  It was a huge sacrifice financially and we may not have been able to give our kids everything they wanted, lots of clothes, fancy house, pay for their cell phones and buy them the fancy tennis shoes unless they pitched in....ect.  But one thing I know for sure is we gave them  "us".  It has been hard but I know we will never look back and wish we had given our kids more stuff instead of us.  Time...the time we give our families is way more important than all the stuff !

"My dad told me on the day of my wedding, 'Never go in a place that you wouldn't take your wife.' -- Unknown

"What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility." --Leo Tolstoy'

"The first duty of love is to listen." --Paul Tillich

Me The JUROR

Today I went to Jury duty!  This was my first time....because of being a daycare provider I have always been able to get out of it !   This time I was secretly excited!!!  I got to get up, get nice clothes on, even put my face on!  Now that is fun for a person who stays home with little kids all day!!!  Wow.  I really need to get out more! ha!  Anyway  after arriving 25 minutes early they gave me a juror sticker.  Pretty important stuff!  Then we sat and waited....luckily I brought a book.  Then we watched a short film on what this was all about , which was very interesting being it was all new to me.  After an hour or so the gal said 6 of us would be chosen to stay.  Inside I was raising my hand saying pick-me, pick-me!!  But No. after another hour she came back to tell us what ever it was they didn't need a Jury anymore so we could all go home. Bummer !  I really was disappointed!  I really wanted to do this!  Oh-well. maybe next time!
