My husband and I were talking last night, I was telling him how sad it is that there are so many couples who try to conceive, but struggle. I am so grateful that we have a healthy little girl on the way and I wish that it wasn't so hard for the other couples who are just as deserving as we are to have a baby of their own. It angers me how people who are irresponsible and not fit to be parents can pop out a dozen children, whom they cant care for properly or allow them to end up in foster care often with troubled lives in the hands of strangers. I'm not saying all foster children have it that rough, but you do hear a lot of horror stories about the system and its flaws. Yet, good/fit potential parents can try for years and have no success. Why? Imagine if unfit people couldn't conceive and the fit ones could...the abandoned babies would decrease immensely.

Anyway, getting to the point, after we finished our discussion/venting session about this topic, I asked how his night was (he went bowling with a few buddies). He said that he had about 4 beers and felt full, he decided that he doesn't want to drink anymore. With our little angel on the way, he has decided that its stupid to drink...we have just as much, if not more fun without alcohol in our lives. The occasional wine is nice, but heavy drinking more than special occasions just isn't appealing and "our daughter doesn't need to be around that shit." I smiled so big because, (I grew up around alcohol...not pleasant memories of my past...in fact memories I have for the most part blocked out and care to keep it that way) my husband doesn't drink very much or often as it is and still feels the need to cut out beer completely, I think thats sweet. He is so selfless and cares so much about our little family...its one of the many qualities I adore of him.

Later on in the evening, the guys called him from the bowling alley asking him to come back...they got pretty wasted, lol, my hubby told them, "I'm too old for that." We are in our mid twenties...these guys are in their thirties *laughing* so it funny to think that Matthew doesn't want to party and they did. He was telling me how awesome I am because I'm understanding and supporting while he is down there...most of the other guys are having issues with their wives because they are whining and moaning over the time that their men are down there. The training is only 2 months...it used to be 4 months, so honestly, I don't know what these women are complaining about...it could be much worse. Besides, my husband is doing this for our family, its a career move and will benefit us for years down the road...I can sacrifice 2 months for that. He is soooo amazing!
