Passing up the good for the best...

We are going to see my parents in Florida in a couple of weeks.  I am so excited and thrilled.  I was thinking about it this morning and realizing we haven't been down to see them in 4 years.  They have been this way but we haven't come their way in over 4 years.  The last time we went was in July 2007 before we were married so that Jeff could meet my parents and sister.  And thinking of this my silly mind was like "why has it taken us so long to go back?" and then I thought of my snoozing sweeties in the other room and remembered that ever since we have been married we have been saving.  Putting off 'unnecessary' travel and fun for the purpose of saving for a chance to have kids.  It was worth every boring summer at home or camping instead of traveling.  I remember I used to mildly complain (at least in my mind) about how I wanted to 'enjoy' the money we were saving.  Well, let me tell you, I am enjoying every penny of it and will be for the rest of my life.  No complaints and absolutely no regrets.  So blessed.  So grateful...so very grateful.
