Love my sisters!

Today I am filled with the love of my family. I feel inclined to write about how grateful I am to have such a wonderful family. A family who doesn’t pass judgment, doesn’t ask questions, just jumps into action to support Mark and I. And I am especially grateful today for my awesome sister-in-laws.

Recently Mark was promoted to Enrollment Manager, which means that he no longer gets paid overtime (he’s on salary now) and so our saving ability has been severely stifled. In fact, we have to pull money out of our savings account every month. Obviously this is counter-productive to our mission of saving for our baby! So we are putting some big changes into place in regards to how we spend, in an effort to save more.

However, in the meantime Mark’s sisters let us in on a little secret that they have been coming up with creative ways to help us raise money! They are so sweet :) This weekend Michelle planned a Stella and Dot jewelry party for me! We had the party at our house and I invited a few friends, we had some yummy treats and played dress up with all the fancy jewelry! It was SO FUN! I felt so blessed to have great friends who, while on a budget (aren’t we all on a budget?!), still made every effort possible to buy something from the party. All of the earnings from the party are being donated to our baby fund. I love Michelle for doing this for us, and I love my friends for being so supportive.

Thank you to my awesome family- you are the best! And thank you to my amazing friends- I love you!
