What would you/did you sacrifice?

I feel sad that some folks feel like they have or will give up substantial things like travel, or family, or anything that's really important to them.

I did move across the country for DH, but I always knew, since long before I met him, that I didn't want to stay in West Virginia my whole life. I knew I didn't want to settle there. I love my family... but I always wanted to live at least a day's drive away.

So, I don't feel like I gave anything up that I wasn't already intending to do. My timeline is different, sure... but that happens regardless of who you marry. That's just life.

That's really why I started this post. It sounded so sad to me to resign yourself to a life of no significant travelling, simply because you want to get married now. But I guess it's just that people have different priorities.

Did I even answer this question myself? I think I'll end up losing out on a bit of money, but not much more than that.

I moved away from Dsneyland, haha. I never thought I would ever go this long between Disneyland trips. Odd, I know, but it really bums me out. But once we have real income, it won't be a problem any more!

Oh, and my family, I guess.
