Mandy is a Kindergarten Graduate! She graduated today at 10:30. The ceremony was a beautiful mix of children singing, a beautiful PowerPoint presentation created by the children, and children shaking hands with the principal! It was a sweet day.

WE'RE CAR PAYMENT FREE!!!!!
We may not be debt free yet, but we did take a large step by loosing the car payment. Thank you very much to CarMax, which made getting rid of the van a piece of cake. We even celebrated our new "payment free" lives by having a delicious dinner of....leftover macaroni.
Love to all!
Love to all!

Finally, Some Normal People Around Here!
Tonight, we went out with our Chiropractor and his family. They are from New Jersey, and it was very nice to spend an evening with people you have so much in common with! Rob and Paul get along famously, as did Rob's wife, Nicole, and I. They have a 2 year old daughter, which Mandy just loves! We had a great conversation, and I would love to do that again.
It seems like most people around here are just not willing to let you completely into their "circle" if you are not from the South.

I'm back...
Sorry it has been so long. It seems like we never stop running around here!
Well, it is May now, and Mandy is way excited because her birthday is coming up! She can not wait to turn 6. So, I wanted to share what we are doing for her birthday this year.
Paul and I have decided that the children will each have $100 to spend on their birthdays. That has always been our "budget" for birthdays (yeah right). This year, though, the kids have both decided that they want cash. The only stipulation is that their cake and party must come out of the $100. Thus, if they want a big party, they will not have a lot of gifts. Likewise, the cheaper their extras cost, the more cash they have to spend. Same with the cake - I can make one cheap, or we can purchase one for them - their choice.
Needless to say, they are both planning simple parties, with just a friend or two sleeping over, a cake from Mom, and as much cash as they can get their hands on! They are eagerly anticipating spending their dough - Mandy has several things picked out already! I can't believe how excited they are this year about the birthday.
