#2 of 10...

David and I were 24 and 19 when we married. Young. Naive. Dumb. Yes. We've made our fair share of mistakes (like smack the palm of your hand against your forehead kind of mistakes). We can laugh about many of them. And we've always said, "Live and learn." When we put the legs of our dining room table on upside down and didn't figure it out until the table was almost completely built, when we leased a vehicle (yikes), when we bought our first house and realized that as home owners we were responsible for repairs and maintenance, (neither of which we had a clue about!), when we had a baby, then another baby and were faced with the understanding that our decisions directly affected helpless little people...we just had to say, Live and learn. We both really value the lessons learned in mistake making, lessons learned in daily life, lessons learned by trial and error. What works for us, what doesn't work for us, what is worth our time, what isn't worth our time, who and what to invest our lives in, who and what not to invest our lives in. We have so much more to learn, we still make mistakes, and we're even repeat offenders in a couple areas...but as long as we live, we'll keep learning.
