It's my life!!

You know, I do ask for advice from time to time. Some times a lot, some times not so much. I just hate the idea of everyone making my decisions for me. This morning at breakfast, we had a family breakfast. That means everyone was over to eat. Mom cooked it all, as normal, and she did a great job, also as normal. We got into a discussion of what would happen if someone was to win the $203 million prize for the lottery this week. Mom told us that if she won it, she would buy us all one car for the family, and a house wherever we wanted. My wife mentioned that we had thought that maybe we would want to move to Galveston after our little vacation in March. I was promptly told "You do not want to live there." Why not? Give me a reason why I should think the same way that everyone else does. But who am I to argue. This is coming from the same person that when told we could get one car for the family, he looked at his wife and said "THIS is what we are getting." I know that I am not perfect, in fact my marriage is far from perfect. But I have learned from my side and my wife's side of the family, the best way to do things is to talk it over between the two of you, not say "THIS is how it is, deal with it." I came to where I am now because my then fiance gave me a choice. You can stay here and we can try a long distance relationship, or you can come with me. It was not an ultimatum, it was an offer. I am not good with the long distance things, so I opted to go with. That has to be one of the best decisions of my life. Sure I have made some stupid ones. I am still breathing, so I will make some more stupid ones. All I know is that I have gotten some awesome advice from people that mean very much to me. "Do what you have to for you and your wife to be happy. That is what is the best for you. If others do not like it, then they will have to deal with it."
