hmmm....

So I need to find more things to blog about...right now in my life---

I just took my last final (just to start another class on Monday)

Aiden is getting over 2 ear infections

Mikey is getting ready to apply for a better job (with benefits!!)

We are still on the lookout for a new house :(

Zoe just finished her first training session...now on to the next level!

We're also working on the Dave Ramsey plan! Baby step #1 still seems a long way off but we'll get there!

That's about it...

Yesterday I looked in my dad's neighbors house (its been vacant for quite awhile and he bought it recently and is in the process of tearing it down). This old man lived there the whole time I was growing up and stayed to himself, the only time we saw him was when he went to and from work. He grew up in during the depression and to say he hoarded is not quite covering it...I walked over there and peeked in this house and there was stuff everywhere! A bed that looked like it was from the 40s, an antique fan, and tons of other things and trash (that was just from standing on the porch-seeing directly into the front room). Also I just recently found this out, this man had no running water in his house and still used an outhouse!! That means in the 90s he was still using an outhouse!! It just baffles my mind that someone can live like that and I never knew...gosh it makes me think about how people live their lives everyday while we just drive on our merry way to work.

Another ah ha moment I've had recently is almost everytime I take a shower I think of all those people in Africa and other countries that don't have water to bathe in or even to drink! I feel guilty for taking my 20 minute showers when I've had a long day. Those children that go however long without a bath, that have to drink dirty water. O how I wish I could go over and help! Maybe someday...
