Workin' Hard

Robbie and I got a bug bomb and a vacuum today. So our bug problem will soon be gone...with enough hard work.

We're also working hard on our relationship. It's a lot of work...and a lot of hard communication. We have a really strong friendship...and it's incredibly important in helping us work on our issues. Basically...we're just having a difficult time putting it all together. It's hard to juggle it all...work with making sure we take care of each other enough...love and passion with also being tough on each other about things...trying to understand each other while also trying to understand ourselves. It's not perfect but...we're getting better at figuring out how to live together.

And I'm starting to feel really at home. We keep improving the apartment and getting more acquainted with the area. Yesterday we went to church again but went to a lunch at one of the member's houses afterwards with everyone. We had a lot of fun and it's nice to have people to hang out with...even if they're all a little silly sometimes.

We're thinking we both want to get part time jobs so that we can try to find other work doing what we love. Him doing drum lessons...me doing childcare and artsy stuff...and hopefully just spending more time together.

For now I guess that's it. Just an update. Love to all

-Kate

Make sure to start saving money!

Look into retirement plans, investing, etc.

Working artsy jobs or in childcare is great, but it's not going to replace social security. Yeah, you have plenty of time to do that, but the earlier you start, the better.

Addressing these issues earlier will help with your relationship, also.

Keep savings plans in balance with your values.
