Dave Ramsey- FPU

So we are taking this class called Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey. It was recommended by my Aunt and I cannot thank her enough. It has helped me be so much more disciplined with my money and we have only been to two classes.

This class I realized the importance of a point he made. Integrity. We always say we have Integrity as Christians, but he made a good point about it in a money sense that I had never thought of.

After teaching his children how money works etc.,they would set up checking accounts for their kids when they prove they understand money, usually around 13 yrs of age. His first daughter did great, the second wasn't as responsible and bounced a check. He said you are going down to the bank and apologizing for lying to them. You spent money you said you had when you really didn't and that doesn't show Integrity.

Unfortunately, in my life I have bounced a couple of check (not recently) but when I first started living on my own and learning to adjust to spending money and not having time to really keep track of my money with school and everything. This really hit me that my Integrity was not up to par and that time and made me realize how important it is to continually and in all we do show others how to become like Christ, even in circumstances like money and keeping our Integrity and not buying things we don't have money for.

It is a fabulous class. Here is the website if you are interested http://www.daveramsey.com/fpu/home/ They have them in every state. He is very entertaining and is a great teacher and motivator.

My Favorite New Helpful Site

As you can see my life revolves around these precious young women I get to work with. I have found a site to help me better serve and teach them. I thought I would share it since it has helpers for all callings.

Hope others can benefit from it as well.

Projects

So one of the Young Women designed this as one of her projects and then got everyone elses prepped so we could do the painting for our weekly activity. I think they turned out so cute. Each girl picked the material that she wanted that would most match her room. The supplies were 1/2 yd material, 1 dowel rod, 15 ft of ribbon. The ribbon was applied with hot glue gun. In the first square they wrote their names and in the last square they wrote the years they would be in mutual.

Spoiled Young Women

This blog is a lot of updates in one. Just a forewarning.

Our Young Women's Room.....

Grant helped me hang the values on the top of the wall. If you click on the picture it will bring it up bigger and you can see the cute fonts.


Girls Camp....
This year we are staying in levels and not wards so our level is the 2nd years and we were Pocahontas (each camp was a different Disney Princess) So here is what we made for the girls.

Necklace and armband and the pillow cases below.

It was so fun and easy. You trace it the pattern with a Sharpie and then take a dropper full of Alcohol and drip over it and it makes the fun design. Don't use black though because the Alcohol turns it purple.



Making cookies for the Missionaries from our ward at my house....





Youth Conference......

I volunteered to take the kids the first day. We only had two Young Men and two Young Women and the activities got over an hour early so we went to Brahms for ice cream. My new love and replacement for DQ.

A Tribute

I know it is a little late....But I want to say Thank you and post a tribute to those who are serving in our Armed Services to protect our rights and Freedom!!! The stories of the war remind us that it is going on....but it hit me so much more as a reality when I saw familiar face among the crowd of soldier pictures...These are my cousin who is serving over in Baghdad.


2nd in from the right on the back row...This is my cousin. I am so proud of him and the dedication to our country that he is showing by leaving his pregnant wife to go and protect our rights.



Sorry this is late I didn't get a chance to do it before we went to Wisconsin.
