The 800 Club

Today I stopped by the UPS store to drop off a package for Kade.  He has been sick, and also needed a few things like more athletic socks, his Spanish dictionary, and more cough medicine.  I only paid 3 dollars for two packages totaling more than 8 lbs.  Pretty good.  If I had kept them under 4 lbs, it would have been free, but we kind of threw in some treats.

The gentleman at the store and I were chatting, and I mentioned that I had a daughter in the Guatemala MTC also (too bad a package there isn't cheap).  He said, "Oh, you are a member of the 800 club."  I was like, what????  He then proceeded to tell me that, copying the Christian 700 club, LDS parents that have 2 children serving are in the 800 club.  Get it?  We pay 800 dollars a month--lol.  Well, every penny is worth it!  And a lot of parents mention that in the end it is cheaper than having them home.  I don't know about that, but we do have less people in the house.  We will see if the bills go down.

One thing that I am struggling with is learning how to cook for 4, soon to be 3.  I make way too much food.  Kade ate a lot I guess.  And he never gained weight!

Another thing that has changed is that we got a dog.  I wasn't sure we wanted one, but apparently the majority of the "we" did.  He is a cutie, and he is fun, but puppies are a lot of work!
