Budgeting - Amanda Haaland
I always tried to budget, with kids it can be a challenge with a lot of unexpected expenses, over the years with talking to friends and getting information through the Internet and reading I have slowly turned my uncontrollable budget into a organized way of spending and saving. I have a pretty solid budget now and it helps me save for retirement and for unexpected expenses, Its easier to stay in the black monthly now which is less stressful, Cynthia's seminar was informative, I was happy to learn that I knew and understood everything she was going over and I use a lot of the techniques in my own budget. I know there is always room for improvement. I have recently registered for Mint.com and I'm excited to start using it. It's very visual and so many tools in there that make budgeting not such a chore. Its all about educating yourself, “When you know better you do better.” Maya Angelou.
Budgeting ~ Cory
I attended Cynthia's budgeting presentation on Thursday November 14th. It was very well-done. I learned from Cynthia's experience that I am on the right track. I am already doing everything she covered, which was very reassuring. It was especially comforting to hear that she had faced the same challenges that I face e.g., reducing your monthly spending on food is not always possible. It was wonderful to learn that I have been practicing formalized budgeting techniques.

Day of the Dead fun run
Michelle: "I think I like hiking better than running............."
The Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertes) is a holiday that focuses on family and friends gathering to celebrate the lives of family and friends that have died. It is particularly observed in Mexico, where it has the quality of a national holiday. Similarly themed celebrations are held around the world.

Each culture and region has its own traditions; they often include special candies, pastries and drinks, shrines or offerings to the departed, and visits to their burial grounds.
Worldwide, celebrations almost always include a parade - which is where the idea for our fun run was born.
