3. MY LIFE Stephanie and I first met while I was working at Disney World the summer before we went to college. She was on her senior trip and I was working as Snow White. We became best friends and decided to move in together after we graduated. Life was great!.. Until..

4. Stephanie decided to leave the family and move to Australia to become the next Crocodile hunter. We miss her dearly, but we still get her paycheck so it is almost like she is still here with us.

27. Fun Being by myself, I can’t take 7 kids out all at one time. So for fun, I take 4 of them to my parent’s house and take them out to a movie, which costs roughly around $45 per trip. We enjoy staying home and spending time with each other, except for Justin who likes to hang out with his friends. We also like to go shopping once a month and each child gets $20 to spend on whatever they want.

28. Life Happens We are left with $908 after the month is over. We get to add 10% of our left overs back!! We end the month with $998 which we put into our savings/checking account.
