Money Comes and Goes

"Money comes and goes, but these kids of ours are a one-shot deal". -Friday Night Lights
Yes, I just quoted a television show, but I can't tell you how much that one line just summed up my life right now. My husband and I have been raising our two boys on one salary for almost 4 years now. We've seen more money go, then come, but we've also had the overwhelming joy and amazement of watching our boys grow in to happy, funny and sweet children. Being in the worst economy in decades isn't easy on any of us, but there is still so much to be grateful for and take to take pleasure in. These kids of ours are a "one-shot deal" so we've chosen to focus on them and making them the best citizens/friends/brothers/nephews/grandchildren and sons they can be. How lucky are we?
