    Default My hubby did the nicest thing for me!

    I just home from spending 2 days with a dear friend in Sacramento. She lives about 3 hours south, and I live an hour east... so we planned on meeting in Sacramento, and staying a few nights, shopping, eating, talking..... catching up (we lived in the same town about 5 years ago, we talk via phone and have seen each other once in the last 5 years). BUT that meant that my dh would have to keep all 3 kiddos and still work! (he has a flexible job, but 3 kiddos does NOT make it easy). Anyway, we got it all worked out, and my friend and I met and ate and shopped and talked and just the BEST time.....

    it's times like this that remind me what a great guy I have!

    Oh, how wonderful! Glad you had such a great time. I did that a few months ago with my best friend for her birthday, which was a rare treat. We went to a concert, had dinner out, and then spent the night in a hotel and talked almost all night, lol! Nothing like GIRLFRIEND TIME!!

    Hmmm.

    What's he want in return?
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
