Taxes and the dating years

Summer 2007

Three years ago, Sean and I started "dating." Well, I didn't want to call it dating since I had a missionary at the time. But, things worked out for us in the long run. :)

Sean managed to get the pictures off the camera, which I'll post later, but the camera's screen is dead. So basically I've got a point and shoot that I can then upload the photos and see. It's like having a film camera without the fun of film. Oh well. Better than nothing.

Sean did our taxes yesterday. So excited for our return! We can pay off almost one full credit card! :) Let me tell you, going from $10,000 in debt to less than $4,000 in 18 months has been really hard! But, we are still kinda "splurging" with our return this year. Sean is getting new glasses and contacts. I'm getting my tooth removed. Maybe we'll get Cali a highchair, too. We'll see, maybe we can do it all. :)

We've been super busy lately. My parents are helping us out by paying us to work on their house. My mom and Jenn watch Cali so I get to help too. It gives me a break from Cali and makes me feel productive. It keeps me sane. :) We're getting a lot done and we really appreciate them letting us do it. (And we've been able to buy diapers!)

I wanted Sean to read the Harry Potter series. But he says he's not really into reading, so I borrowed the cd's from the library. We just finished the series and now he wants to have me listen to the "Wheel of Time" series with him. I'd rather read my books I got from the library. I prefer to read, but don't usually get the chance to do it. I'm currently reading "Learned Optimism." I like it so far. Kinda reads like a text book, but that's part of what appeals to me.

In other news, Cali has reached the stage where she does not like to wear a diaper or clothes and would rather run around naked. Do all children want to be nudists? I remember my siblings running around in diapers, but I don't remember them trying to take them off.  Maybe Cali's trying to tell me that she's getting ready to start potty training.
