Money

Yesterday we got to celebrate our 6 month anniversary!!! We've been married for SIX MONTHS!!! Can you believe it? Time has gone by super fast... and yet 6 months seems like a long time... We feel as though we've been married forever, but our wedding was like just yesterday. Such different feelings, but so good! We got to celebrate by going out to eat at the Chef's Table. I haven't been there since senior year prom in high school and it was SO GOOD!! Way better than it was at Prom! ha ha ... Pretty sure life now is way better than it was at Prom! It was a fun little splurging trip and now we'll be saving more than ever and cutting back as we get ready for our cruise (which is in 27 days...) and just life in general.

It's crazy how fast money can go... especially when Dustin isn't working very much because he's taking 22 credits... yeah, it's madness I tell you. We decided we'd try to be poor and start eating top ramen and macaroni and cheese and stuff like that. Do you know how much money we could save that way?!? SO MUCH!! That would be nice. We had dinner over at Nathan and Adrienne's house on Sunday and they have a goal to save $50,000 by the time they graduate... holy cow! That has to take major self control to be able to save that much!! I want to be as cool as that and try to really really save lots of money... isnt' that a fabulous idea?! Some day we'll have loads of money, but for now, we'll try to save save save and good things will happen!

Plus, if we start eating crappy food then the cruise food will taste even MORE amazing, right? It's basically a great idea! :)

"Chili Mac" was a fav. growing up (mac n cheese with a can of chili mixed in). So cheap! haha Cheap food is easier for me...it's cutting back on the miscellaneous/fun part! Good luck!

Yeah, um senior prom stunk. ha ha. dumb boys. Good luck saving the moneys. I couldn't eat ramen all the time, and I can barely stomach mac and cheese eating it once a monthish. So power to you!
