Hey Family!
I'm trying to really save some money. I've set a budget, but I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how to stick to the budget, where to shave off a few extra cents every month, or how to eat super cheap (that is still relatively healthy...apparently man is not meant to live on instant rice alone). Oh, and that's another thing, is regular rice cheaper? How do you make regular rice without a rice cooker? Does rice have nutritional value? Holly eats a lot of it, so I always assumed it did.
I'm trying to eat healthier so I have more energy. I'm trying to eat fruits, veggies, etc. Any good tips? Is it okay that I drench my veggies in ranch? I'm not trying to loose weight, just gain energy...so ranch is fine, right? I drink tons of water. Therefore I'm not hungry for milk. (I usually have milk in my cereal only, and I only have cereal like 4 times a week) Are my bones going to fall apart Holly? Is there a cheaper way to get calcium besides milk? I like milk, and it isn't that expensive...i just don't go shopping very much, so I always try to make one gallon last two weeks. I learned that I can freeze it, so I keep a gallon in my freezer, and use that for the second half of the month. Am I going through it way too slow? I want to save money, but osteoporosis does not sound delightful.
The other problem with drinking a lot of water is this: I cannot go two hours without needing to use a restroom. This poses a problem...of my three class I am in right now, two of them are two hours long. Also, I work long hours. I can excuse myself whenever I need, but still....it's kinda ridiculous. And, we are going through toilet paper like no other in my apartment. Oh the joys of trying to change a habit. This is a problem I don't need help solving. I just wanted to share, and you are probably thinking, why is she sharing this...
This is what it feels like:
Along the healthy lines...I'm obsessed with youtube right now. It has some awesome work out videos. You just type in how much time you have, and what muscles you want to work out and bam. A new workout video every time, free of charge. It's my best friend. :)
These are the questions that go through my head all day long, but whenever I have one of you on the phone, I usually forget to ask.
WARNING: Dad, don't get your hopes up because of the following question. No decisions have been made. I'm just trying to prepare, just in case. How much do you guys think it would cost to go on a mission? Not just the monthly payment, but the cost of clothing and other things I'll need before hand. I bet it could add up real quick. How much should I be putting away? Anybody have any good guesses.
I love you all.

P.S. Notice the green...money, eating veggies....yeah, I thought that out.

President David O. McKay once said, ‘No greater responsibility can rest upon any man [or woman], than to be a teacher of God’s children’ I'm writing a paper on my personal philosophy of teaching, and so I'm reviewing Teaching, No Greater Call. I just came across that quote at the very beginning.
I'm excited to go into teaching, but I'm more excited to thank you Mom and Dad for being my teachers. You guys have been absolutely wonderful in teaching me everything from how to spell my name, a love for books, who I am, and about Christ. Thanks for all your teaching methods. Mom, thanks for reading to me, with me, and simply in my line of sight. Dad, thanks for sharing stories of your childhood, your love of people, and singing to me in the hammock on those many camping trips.
I can't begin to express how much you guys have taught me. I love you both dearly. I couldn't have asked for better parents.
Love
Kimmie
