go team Baxter

Darren and I had a good talk last night about how we're going to face - nay, attack - the next two months. Two months!

He's starting his new job today, which mean he'll theoretically be making more money than he was on unemployment (they're only paying him $10 an hour, but it's better than nothing). We're going to stick firmly to our monthly budget plan and try to reduce our grocery allotment. We won't be going out or doing anything that involves spending money - no bars, movie theatres, restaurants, and the like. All the money we have left over will go toward the wedding.

We'll also slowly but surely stock up on frozen ground beef for the taco bar. If we can find ground chicken at a good price we'll pick up a bunch of that too. We'll pick up the perishable stuff (lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, etc) probably the day before.

We haven't made any decisions about side dishes. If his mom still wants to help, she can do those. Rah rah.

We're going to need crock pots.
