Big News for us
Hi everyone,
It has been a while since I posted anything. I want to let yall know what's new.
Still being frugal along with keeping up on our tithes. There was a heated debate about that when I posted a help question. Kids are starting another year in a private school. Reread previous sentence. And .........have paid off 2 CC's. Working on last one now.
And even bigger news, starting tomorrow, Aug 17, I am going to our local college (full-time) to become a nurse. Our oldest has his restricted license so he can drive in the day-time hours. I will be home everyday by 12:30 so I will still be home when the kids get home from school. I will finish when the twins graduate. That will leave only one left in school (entering 10th grade). With all that taken into consideration, DH and I said that now would be the time for me.
Well, that's it. Just wanted to let ya'll know that being frugal or penny pinching or being called crazy is all worth it.
Bye for now .........
P.S. disregard my signature. They need to be updated.Last edited by Suzy; 08-16-2009 at 05:23 PM. Reason: added a line

Congratulations. I remember you from before and wish you all the best. I think nursing is great choice for you. I envy you going to college. Do well for those of us who are waiting to get there. LOL.
