Today, well I guess technically yesterday since it is after midnight, I mailed all 35 of my invitations! I would have liked to get them sent off a week or more ago, but school hindered that!
As for school, I have caught up and got a little ahead. This is in part due to the fact I skip my class on Thursday. yes, yes, I know I NEVER skip class, but she teaches from the book, word for word, and I have several people in my group that will let me know of anything I missed that needs to get added to the notes I post for the class (yeah they all love me for it too!).
I find that I am very productive in the morning when I should be in class because I race to see if I can do more in my 2 hours at home than they do in class, and I do! With gas prices so high, and it being 104 daily, I just can’t see the benefit for driving for an hour, sitting in class for 2 more, and then spending money on parking. I am sure some of it has to do with it getting so close to the end.
I GRADUATE IN THREE WEEKS!!!!!!!
*panic attack* I still can’t believe I will be done and actually get to make money! We can almost get by now (get a little more into debt each month by about $100) and with me working, we might be able to double our household income. I can’t wait to pay Harriet and Phil back for the loan and I can’t wait to get out of debt, and above all, I can’t wait to build our own home! I say “I” but Dean feels the same way I am sure 
I hate money, but maybe when we are out of our ~60k debt (includes 30k in school loans) I might like it more.

Pay off other debt (the kind that incurs interest) before you ever think about paying me and Phil back. Heck, if that means we’re in our 60s, it would be an unanticipated windfall that we’d use for some kind of exotic vacation! Seriously, I look at that debt we took on for you guys as our contribution to Dean’s education and yours. And if you ever DO pay us back, I would consider it a gift, not a debt repaid.

If y’all were super rich I could do that. But I know that it is hard for y’all too and that loan has been a weight on my conscience for a couple of years now. I can’t wait to give y’all a check for 10k+ (lol its been so long I can’t remember the exact number!)and see y’all finally take a honeymoon for a week or two. I cannot think of anyone who deserves it more than you and Phil! Y’all do so much for everyone else. I can only hope to aspire to be as selfless as y’all.
