starting the financial future

Do you remember the first time you opened your own bank account, and the emotions you felt?

Well today Anisten had that priviledge as we signed up for both a savings and a checking account. Seems you can't take out the money unless you transfer it into the checking first.

For a while now we have used canning jars to hold our money into different categories and since her savings jar added up to over $15, I decided it was time to let the bank pay her to have the priviledge of holding it. I am looking forward to seeing her expression the first time she receives the wopping 2-3 cents of interest, at least I am hoping it will be that much.

Experiencing new things for the first time can be pretty exciting and she did not disappoint, while holding and caressing the brand new bank card she exclaimed

"I am now complete!"

to which I replied "oh really?"

"Oh mom... it is only an expression of how this makes me feel at the moment, nothing else"

Something about looking at the world through the eyes of a child!

Thank you Anisten for making me smile, today will forever be ingrained in my memory.

You are indeed Gods greatest gift to me. And I thank God that he has spared my life so I may share in these experiences with you. I love you Boo!
