10.  Being able to get by on what little we have for money...we are great penny pinchers, and are very frugal with our little salaries!
11.  Having each other...we are always there for each other through thick and thin, I am there to comfort Steve and support him as he tries to get a firefighting job, and he comforts me when I crashed my car in the snow and came home balling my eyes out!  I would have never asked for anyone else in the world, he's perfect for me.
12. We have wonderful places to visit my family, and they are so caring and thankful to have us!
