Living With Grandparents
Topic: Family Life | 3 Comments »
- Joy and Grandpa (my dad)
Working in IT and living in a small city do not really go together well, especially when lumber and mining our the main industry. However, with both sets of Joy’s grandparents living here we decided to stay (at least for now).
To us family is more important that having a big house, new cars or holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I like those things very much. I also want to make lots of money. In fact, if you have lots of money you probably can afford to work less and spend more time with them. So I think there is a balance spending time to make money and spending money to make time.
Right now neither money nor time are in my favor but I am working hard to keep a balance. Having grandparents around has been great. She loves all the attention from grandparents, uncles and her favorite aunt 
To live a wealthy life requires success in all areas of life. Finances, health, family, friends and a relationship with God are among the things that make our lives wealthy. A lack in one area usually means a lack in another area. Somethings hold more value and we all value somethings more than other things.
For us grandparents rank very high on the list of things that make our lifes wealthy.

The fact that Joy gets to have her grandparents involved in her everyday life is great. My parents live on the East Coast, so my son has only seen them about six times in his life. It’s sad.

That really is great Orlund and that picture is just perfect. Grandparents on my wife’s side are close by which is very nice. The kids have only seen my parents once. Such is life. We are thankful for what we have.

Great work! I also have my own blog I just find it hard to write quality content like this.
I guess I really don’t have the time.
