With Cristina finally completing college, I was thinking of how lucky we were to take advantage of the student loans she acquired. With the cost of college so high these days, we could never have done it on our own. It was very fortunate that we had help in getting the loans we needed. We were able to work the cost into the budget we had planned.

The college was very helpful in this respect. The coordinator steered us in the right direction and provided us with ways to find the information we needed. With a little work, you will find that there are many options to choose from. it is possible to get a Stafford loan as well as a private student loan. We took advantage of the things that worked best for us.

Cristina is graduated now and we are so proud of her. We know that she will have a great future, in part due to the acquisition of her college loans. We now have a plan to start paying back her loans, but are glad that she was able to get some loans at a very low rate. This will help alleviate the overall cost. We will need that help as Sarah will be ready for college next year!

Walking through the house the other day, I notice that that where ever I stand, I can see two clocks with different times. The stove clock says three o’clock and the microwave says four! The clock in the living room doesn’t match the one in the dining room. One clock just blinks 12.00.

I try to keep my alarm clock correct because it’s more important to me, and the ones on the computer are usually right. But its pot luck with any other clock in the house! I guess I have some resetting to do!
