By that time my husband and I will have been married for about 8-9 years.<BR/>We currently live in St. Louis. My husband is about to finish up his 2nd year of Medical School and I'm back in school because I didn't land a teaching job this year and I was told by several staffing agencies that I'm "overqualified" for most other jobs.<BR/>With both of us in school we have an income of Zero dollars. Yes, zero. Everything we buy will end up costing about 3 times as much by the time we actually pay it off. <BR/>I'm always looking for ways to cut back, reduce, reuse, and save a buck. We live very well for our limited budget and I really have no room to complain. We are so blessed! Like you, I was also raised in Kansas. I lived there until about 7th grade and then moved to Oklahoma and lived there until we started this whole Med School adventure. <BR/>I'm really looking forward to reading your blog and trying new things. Be Blessed!<BR/><BR/>PS. I'm praying I land a teaching job this fall.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097621884225003341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292365816154128314.post-9829183725667914962009-03-21T15:31:00.000-05:002009-03-21T15:31:00.000-05:00Hi Lorrie,My name is Carrie, from Heavenly Homeste...Hi Lorrie,<BR/><BR/>My name is Carrie, from Heavenly Homesteading. What a blessing to have raw milk to make your own butter from! I look forward to that someday. You probably don't remember, but you asked if I had my seasonal meal plans posted a while back and being new to blogging, I responded to you in my comments section and later realized you probably never read that responce. So, I want to thank you for your interest . . . I hope to post my meal plans after we get through this season of moving from the desert of Arizona to Alaska. I look forward to exploring your blog more as well.
