So far so good

    Everything is working out well so far. We bought two 50' clothesline ropes and some clothespins (which Matthew found a pack after I bought some. lol) and hung them on the balcony. I have been hanging clothes for three days now and I love it! It changes the texture and smell of the clothes in a great way. I forgot how much I loved it until I took the first load off the line. I have actually been looking forward to doing laundry! So it is a good thing, now if only I could do this all year. :) The toothpaste is still working wonderfully. We both have noticed how clean our mouth stays all day and we don't forget to brush since it's only once a day instead of 2-3 times. I have to work on a recipe for Rylence to use but I think he is a ways from that so will just have to get him some all natural store bought.
      We are extremely excited to see the electric bill next month since we have started air drying. And we are looking forward to getting a bottle of everclear to replace deodorant. I am hoping to be able to start that within a couple weeks. After that not sure what the next big step is for us, especially since school starts shortly after. I know we are trying to cut back on dining out and that seems to be working well except when family comes down or we are on vacation, which is expected. Other than that we do well just eating at home, the big difference will be cutting out preservatives and fillers where ever we can. I have been trying hard to do so but with a tight budget it is not as easy. I have found ways to make our own or simply do away with some snacks and such things but in general that complete movement to natural and organic will have to wait until the paycheck can handle the bills and it. :)
     For now that is all that is happening in our little world. I have been doing some reading and trying to prepare for the coming semester but it is tough when I don't have a plan or test to guide me. I am going to start meeting with some other students to try and refresh our minds together. Rylence and Matthew rode bikes on the green way for about an hour yesterday, I walked/ tried to jog with them. It was a great experience that all of use enjoyed! Now we need to find or simply buy a bike rack for the car and another adult bike and we will be out all the time. Today we are going to visit my mom for a few hours. We don't get to spend as much time with her as I would like too since we moved, but we are trying to make it a habit of going up as often as money allows while school is out.
       It's a beautiful day so go out and enjoy it!!
