Saving Money= Making Memories

I've got a little story for ya' Ags. It all started on a stormy Tuesday night....

Alex: Hey Beth, will you cut my hair with my new beard trimmer/hair clippers?

Beth: Heck no! I'll mess it up!

Alex: No you won't. I've seen them do it. I'll tell you how. I trust you.

Beth: Fine....

Alex (sitting in bathtub on a stool): Okay, run the clippers down the back of my head. I just want to cut some of the length off first.

Beth: Ooh. This is easy!

(Beth successfully trims the back of Alex's head)

Beth: Okay, it's pretty short now. I'm going to go the other way and get some more off........OOOOOPS!

Alex: What?!? What?!?

Beth (shrinking away): Errr. I'm going to go get a mirror (and a camera).


Alex (after seeing what has taken place) : Oh my gosh! I have a presentation on Thursday! What am I going to do?

Beth (in hysterics): Wait! I have an idea! (runs to other room) Now, just sit still.

(That's right ladies and gentlemen, I colored Alex's head with a black crayola marker. He didn't go for it though. He got a haircut today.)

Just wanted to share that little moment in history from our marriage.

In later news, Alex accepted the Frito Lay job in Irving, so we'll be movin' on up to Dallas in January. I'm still kind of at a loss as to what I'll be doing but I'm sure I'll figure it out. It will most definitely include some kind of higher education and/or tutoring. Yay!

Job alert...

Well, lemme tell you that once we're out of college, we'll write in this thing alot more often. With working and school and church and eating and sleeping, there's barely any time to do anything else. Alex has been applying at different places for a job after graduation in December. He got a third interview with General Mills, a possible second interview with Textura, and he's applied for at least five more, one being a financial analyst for Proctor and Gamble in Egypt (fun!). We're still praying through all these opportunities. God's been really good in the past, so we trust Him now!
