What's been going on....

I apologize for not blogging lately. Things have been pretty crazy around here.

Yesterday, I had to cater two events. The first thing we catered was a funeral. The woman who had passed away was only 44 years old! She had died of cancer, but how horrible! She was from a small town and the funeral was in a small town, but there was almost 1000 people there.
I actually never knew until I got there, but I had gone to college with the lady who passed away's son. I never knew him well, but I did recognize him. Such a young age to die!

The second even I catered was a wedding. They were a pretty interesting couple. They were very artsy and the bride had made the dress herself. It was a pretty funky dress.

I have to cater another funeral on Tuesday. What is up with all the funerals?

Gabe and I are headed to the bank on Tuesday afternoon to see how big of a mortgage we will be approved of. I am a little nervous. I don't know why. We have a pretty Yost credit history, just a few bills that have been paid a couple days late. That is the worse thing.

We just already have a lot of debt. We both have good sized students loans and our car loan. Ugghhh. It feels as if I will spend my whole life paying loans. Stupid student loans. I will be paying mine off for 10 years, and for the first 5 years, I am not even touching the balance. I am just paying interest. I guess ten years isn't that bad. I only have 8 left to go. That is bad. Well, our car payments, we only have 3 years left and then it is completely paid off. However, we are probably going to be needing a new car. We were stupid when we bought our car, and only bought a two door, to find out that our family is extending to three people one short year later. What can you do?

Loans are fun. Yeah right. I guess now with a mortgage, we will be owing a whole lot more money on a house. Whatever, though. At least we are investing in something instead of just paying out a whole lot of money in rent that we will never see again.

Until next time....
