Since we’re already responsible for the health and well-being and emotional development of two little individual human beings, you’d think signing a paper at the bank wouldn’t be so nerve-wracking an experience. We’ve already signed marriage certificates and birth certificates, and those are pretty much life-long commitments (yes your kids may move out, but you’re always a parent).
But having enjoyed the freedom of having student loans paid off and being debt-free (for a short while anyways), it does seem a little scary to promise to pay back such a huge amount of money (which will take such a large chunk of our lifetime to do!).

Instead of picking one of those (how to choose?) or doing them all (I must leave some mystery to my wacky personality!), I’m going to just post a new meme with a different theme – things you may *not* already know about me.
If you don’t already know the basics, I refer you to the About Kris page of this blog, or my bio on the YM Staff page or my new bio up on BlinkieMommies.com.
