Spring has Sprung

Spring has finally come to our little place here, and while we like that the trees and grass are starting to turn green, we're not really enjoying the insane amounts of pollen in the air. It's making us both feel bad.

We have been living very quiet lives in the last few months, always managing to make ends meet, and living as best as we can. We are pretty happy with the way things are, though I always like to dream about what COULD be. We've been talking a lot about the state of things and we've realized a few very important ideas that we are doing, without even realizing it.

A few weeks back we were surfing Hulu and came across Dave Ramsey's show. We hadn't listened to him before, just because we didn't know/didn't watch his channel back in Chicago when we had TV...and we realized we had one of his books (wedding present from a friend's parents). We realized after reading parts of his book (and watching two episodes of his show) that we're already doing the things that he wants suggests. Honestly this is like the best sort of affirmation we can have here.

Tim has been driving more, which is a good thing, and hopefully he'll be able to get a driver's test date sometime this summer. He's doing really well, which is a wonderful thing and I'm hopeful that he'll be driving on his own within the year. :)

We are doing well, despite our silence the last few months. All is good, Spring has Sprung, and I'm glad that we're in the Prairie. It feels really, really good.
