Madison and I have really enjoyed being a couple again after law school exams were over! We have really enjoyed hanging out again and had a lot to catch up on. I could hardly talk to him those weeks he was studying, so now it's nice to not have restrictions on when/how much we can talk and spend time together.
Our summer plans are finally coming together. Things are tight money-wise, seeing students go out of town for the summer, etc. I started a new 6 yr old student last week so that's good. I still have some people who are taking every week, and one that won't return my emails/phone calls. Summer is a hard time for a private teacher. Madison will be attending summer school, and thankfully we got some loans granted for that...he is still hoping for a summer job, so we will see. That would be very nice. :-) We are not going out to eat or going to movies, renting movies, or anything beyond very simple grocery shopping, except for special occasions, so we should be fine. We're being creative with what we have, and we have been playing our wii and playing board games together. I'm gone a majority of the time with work, especially on Mon. & Thurs. when I babysit Monday from 7-5:30 and Thurs. from 7:30-5:30. Madison starts summer school on Tuesday. This weekend, we are going to start getting our house somewhat ready for our move, so it's not so much to do the end of next month. We will be celebrating our 1st year anniversary next weekend! It has been a great year. We'll probably just stay here due to no money. We'll probably save up and go out to dinner though! That will be nice to dress up and go out at least.
Well, better go! More updates to follow.

Liz, I hear you on being tight money wise during law school. My hubby and I started graduate school less than 2 weeks after our wedding, in a new city without much income. He will finish school this Summer with a Ph.D in Chemistry, but it has been 5 years of careful budgeting and trying to find creative ways to have fun without spending too much (except for the special occasions). It's great you are going to try to do something special for your anniversary. We've tried to always make the things worth celebrating special and I think that really helped us get through the other lean times. It's great you are supporting Madison through this stage of life and it WILL pay off in the end! Blessings to you both!
