New Adventure of Life

So I am going to be honest, I am a big spender. I didn't know a lot about saving my money. I have gotten a lot better since James and I got married. James is a saver. We help each other out. I do the "balancing" of our bank account. I remember when James and I first got married I had to tell him that we could afford to have a date once in awhile. Money was tight for us when we first got married. Things have gotten a lot better in the 3 almost 4 years of marriage. We are finally in a comfortable spot. I don't have to try and stretch money to pay our bills on time.  I also love spending money on other people. I love helping people. It's hard for me when I see someone struggling and I can't help them because I don't have spare money.  James and I are trying to save money so we can move into our own place. Don't get me wrong were we live is nice and is working for us. We just would like our own space. I feel like we have spent a lot of our married life li

Thanksgiving up in Aniak went well. Payton enjoyed having a lot of attention from his Grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousins. Unfortunately my camera broke so I don't have a ton of pictures, but I do have some that I took on my phone that I will share. Christmas was really good. On Christmas eve we Skyped with my family to open presents. It was a little crazy. My Family in Michigan had James, Payton and I up on one computer and my brother and his family on a different computer. Lets just say it was crazy (at least for me it was) That's 17 people between 3 computers and in 3 different states, Alaska, Michigan, and Georgia.  Christmas day was great. Just relaxing with my little family during the day and we went to our friends house from church for a Christmas dinner. It was really nice to be with other people during this holiday when we can't be with our family in the lower 48. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Looking forward to what 2014 has in store for James a
