| Lifestyle Changes-How many have you Made?  | | | | I was just reflecting on my life, after a hard day, and was wondering how many other people have had such drastic lifestyle changes? Our most drastic lifestyle change was when I found out I was pregnant. We had a fantastic adult lifestyle. We traveled 2 or 3 times a year, for 7-10 days each. We had cars and trucks. Our toys included a Jeep, 2 quads, dirt bikes. We both had motorcycles. We bought what we wanted, when we wanted. I always had my hair and nails done, I wore silk and lace. DH bought expensive saltwater fish and treated our 2 Rotties to Doggie Day Spa trips. Then we talked about changing our lives to fit in a baby. It took 4 years, but I was finally pregnant. We sold the trucks, the Jeep, the motorcycles, the quads. (He kept the dirtbike.) The furthest we travel now is to Cape Cod. We still buy what we want, but wait until tax refund time. I haven't had my hair done in over a year, and oh, WHAT fingernails??!! I haven't worn anything but cotton and denim in about 2 years. Our beloved Rotties have died and we have only one saltwater fish now. We drive a minivan, our biggest joys in life are watching our 3 YO learn to ride a bike, build first snowmen and mastering the art of somersaults without hurting his back! We completely changed our lifestyles for our baby. And it's the best transformation I've ever made. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | Thank you for your response. It wasn't always so that we were so comfortable and I keep that close to heart and mind. I'm an active volunteer in the community and I constantly try to give back and help those who need it. It wasn't that long ago that I was one of those people who needed help. I do know that I am blessed and I find a tremondous amount of joy in my volunteer work and non affiliated community work. | | | | | | | Find the Car You Want Choose a Car from Millions of Listings - New, Used or Certified.
