You made me cry!! I have to remind myself that just because it looks good at what others may have (A friend of ours is military and getting transferred to a huge house in the country, has two beautiful healthy children and job security. but also huge marital problems that need lots of work on both sides)

I wouldn't trade it out for what I have-- a hubby who will work 60+ hours a week if needed (and has) to make it possible for me to stay home with our daughter. A little girl who is so perfect for our family in every detail- including being strong willed which I prayed for! A house that is warm, safe and comfortable. Of course we all want more-- it is our nature. A larger house, better clothes, more money to do things-- but we have a great church, safe house, loving family and so many things that money can not fix.

Thank you for this post! I get teary when my hubby (just last night in fact) said "I wish she would wake up tonight so I can go in and rock her"-- how cool is that???
We still take turns for who gets to go in to get her up in the morning, rock her if she has a dream, hold her if she is sick-- the taking turns is because we both want to do it so badly!!
