It's a family tradition!!

O to be young and in love.... and broke....

It must be a Peterson family tradition to start off their relationship with their significant other young, in love.... and broke. I can tell ya... I must be keeping the tradition alive. Haha. It's a good thing that I have a good sense of humor when it comes to the universe sending it's "life's little jokes" my way. Bills aren't so bad, but it's those unexpected bills mixed in with a bad economy and a lack of work that getcha every time. I just keep telling myself it must be the good Lords way of keeping me hardworking and humble. I keep telling Ashley that the heat will just have to stay off for another week. She's not a fan being the lows are getting down in the 30 degree range now. :) Well, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I believe that Mr. Webster has the definition of "Survivor" wrong. The I feel the definition should be... "The Peterson family." The Peterson's are full of strong willed, thick skinned, hardworking, don't take no from anyone, survivors. And I want to thank every Peterson who has lead by example, and made me think, "Well, they did it, went through it, and survived it, and damnit we will too!"

So....to honor and carry on the family tradition... we're young, in love, and broke... but we're Surviving!!!

  2. I think you are getting the hang of how life really works justin. When grandma came out to New jersey so we could get married it was a good thing she had a little money along, so she could help pay the first months rent. And I had to borrow $25 from the Red Cross a month later to buy her airplane ticket back home when I got transferred overseas, unexpectedly.
