Addison's Birthday

I have been so busy I haven't been able to post much on here, so I'm going to somewhat catch up. A few weeks ago, our ward had their annual Blue and Gold Banquet, and since Jayden is going to be in scouts this year we were invited to go. Micah and I decided that we want our boys to be scouts because it will teach good values and build friendships. So we went down to that and it was a lot of fun, and we got to see a lot of our friends from the neighborhood.

Another fun and exciting thing we had going on this week was Addison's birthday and our wedding anniversary. We were going to go to Chuck E. Cheese this Friday and celebrate, but we had made plans for one of Micah's friends to come over and since we had canceled the week before too we just kept it. So we went to the park today and played and celebrated Addison's birthday. It wasn't very fancy or party-ish but we had fun. We also had our wedding anniversary this weekend. Micah's mom watched the kids and we went to The Olive Garden and came home and watched some movies and just enjoyed being with each other with kids. It was nice, very nice. Thanks Craig and AnaRae.

As I was looking on here today I noticed that in February I had only posted two threads, so I will do in March at keeping everyone updated. Have a great day and Happy Birthday little Addison.

Yea, you told us, we leave bottles everywhere. Thanks about the background. I wish they had more Easter ones.

Yeah..I know it will totally be worth it...the problem is how is Matt going to go to school and study and have me be able to stay home with Jeriah, while still being able to pay the mortgage. I was thinking about getting a job...which would almost be pointless because most of my paycheck would have to go to pay for his daycare. They don't want students working because they have school from 8-5 and then they are suppose to go home and study...so there really is no time for work...???
I'm sure we will figure it out...it's just figuring it out that is the stressful part...
$28,000.00 doesn't sound as bad as your 100,000.00....OUCH. For me though....yousa...$28,000.00 that's craziness! I'm kinda glad he decided not to go to Dental School...;)

It sounds like a lot but is definitely worth it. In optometry you spend 100,000 on grad school, but your first year out of school you're making 80,000 to 100,000 a year, so it definitely does pay for itself.

I have heard of people putting their living expenses on student loans-food, housing, etc. That is something you could look into; just be careful because you could end up with a lot of debt and be paying off student loans forever.
