We don't have much either, always struggling to make ends meet, etc., but we have each other, we're all healthy for the most part, we have a roof over our heads and food on the table - we have the things that really matter in life as far as I'm concerned. My husband on the other hand always talks like Rusty, he's always complaining about how he's sick of just getting by, never having the things we want, etc. I guess it really is all perspective.<br>MarthaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066131320029765111.post-74433015874710288812008-07-16T13:03:00.000-07:002008-07-16T13:03:00.000-07:00and God is good all the timeHe's been with you, wa...and God is good all the time<br><br>He's been with you, walking with you every step of the way; you have a great outlook on life, Kelli!!<br><br>be prepared for sticker shock for college books; go used if you can<br><br>love is so much more better than having money; if you have to chose between one or the other, love and family is the way to go<br><br>and you have great kids; every single one of them<br><br>bettyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066131320029765111.post-1460049178951260442008-07-16T13:29:00.000-07:002008-07-16T13:29:00.000-07:00I love your attitude.

I think you are rich, too. And think about all the things you listed, PLUS you have a daughter entering college, AND your girls have got to do a lot of traveling that girls their age don't usually get to do. But I can understand what Rusty is saying too, and there have been times when Thomas and I have felt the same way; especially Thomas because he works so very hard. So let me say this to you and to Rusty: There are so many people out there who have had to put their dreams on hold, who don't have health insurance, who struggle from paycheck to paycheck, who have had to start over in one way or another, but who don't have all that you guys have, and who don't have the attitude that you have. So I think the "rich" outweighs the "poor". And you are probably the biggest asset Rusty has -- and I bet he'd agree with me!<br>Lori<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066131320029765111.post-81358821373875790422008-07-16T22:15:00.000-07:002008-07-16T22:15:00.000-07:00I agree with you...there are people who live on th...I agree with you...there are people who live on the street eating out of garbage cans....all of us are rich compared to those dear souls...anyone who readys this...has a home, electricity and a computer for Pete's sake! Much more than those on the street have. And we have our families and friends. Some of the wealthiest people in the world are the most miserable. Because they can't be sure if their friends are genuine or just there because of the money. We are rich !!! Be sure and read the rules about getting Ryan a Passport. I thonk both parents have to sign if the child is underage. But you may already know that..getting Passports for the girls. I think that would be good for the 2 of you to take a little trip south.
