So Zoe's hair had gotten so long and I am a big fan of little girls with bangs and short hair, so we cut it and I blowed dried it straight, isn't she so cute. It's even cuter when it is curly because now her curls just bounce up! I love having a little girl to play beauty shop with!
My mother bought Aaron and I this book for New Year's. It is one of the most powerful books I have ever read. It show you how to get out of debt ( student loan for us) and live credit card free. I can't give this book justice with my words. It is incredible. Aaron and I are 100% on the bandwagon with this one. He has such a clear few of how to take a hold of your money and be the master of your money not a slave. On his plan Aaron and I can be debt free, cars, student loans and all in about 2 1/2 to 3 years ( keep in mind that the average person dies with there student loan debt) all that it will take it taking hold of that 2 year old inside us that cries " I want, I want, I want" and put him in time-out. There is no reason for us to be a slave to payments every month for the rest of our lives. We are ready to live our lives debt free. If we can't pay cash for it, we don't need it PERIOD. He even suggest 100% down on a house. Impossible you say, but why, WHY NOT! Now that Aarons career has started we are going to start having our money work for us not vica versa. We are ready to live like nobody else now so that later we can live like nobody else. I urge everyone readying this blog to purchase this book. Unless you have 5 million dollars in a Mutual Account you can't afford not to. I know we couldn't. This isn't a get rich fast scheme it is a systematic approach to attacking your debt, having an emergency fund, paying of your mortgage and investing for your retirement. So no more frivolous purchase's for us anymore. No more " I want, I want, I want" It will be more than worth it, no shopping spree can replace the feeling of wanting to be debt free and finacialy secure. I know I sound fanatic but I am. Read it and you will be too, I promise.
On December 29th Aaron and I went with his family to the Jazz game where we got to stay in the Hunstmans Box Suite. When we got to the door that had 2 security guards which was weird but once we got inside we realized why. Our Prophet, President Monson was there. Sitting at the table eating his plate of fruit. We got to speak with him and share 2 hours with him there in that box. He cheered along with everyone for the game, he seemed like any other Jazz fan in his nice suit. He didn't preach to use or give us spirtual guidance. What he gave to us was more. He showed me that the Lord truly does call simple, sweet people to do Great and Marvelous things. I know that he is the Lords Prophet here on the earth and that he loves me and everyone. I felt that love when he shook my hand. That was definelty a once in a lifetime experience and I am grateful that I was able to receive it.
I know that I have been neglecting my blogging responsibility but the Tate family has been way busy. We just moved into our place up in Salt Lake. You should have seen it. Aaron had to work that day so it was me (the pregnant lady), Aaron's dad Paul with a bad knee and Carolee. They were real troopers that was so much to get done but we did it. Aaron really likes his new job and loves doing the surgerys even if it does keep him away for long hours :( Zoe is loving life and is so excited to have a baby sister or brother. Don't bother asking what we are having because we have decided not to find out! Baby Tate will be here in July. I promise to post pictures soon ( by friday I promise) I hope all is well with everyone and that they are enjoing there New Year.
