He loves numbers and he loves a challenge and this job is both of those.<br /><br />It certainly seems like it is harder today to afford a house then when we were at that stage in our lives but I expect it really isn't that much different seeing that wages have gone up as well as housing prices. I think what has changed a lot, is that people seem to want to have everything right away and then they end up in debt. Lindsey and Justin aren't like that and been able to save. We are sure that they will find what they are looking for soon enough.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-38599059630478081502015-09-19T10:53:06.443-04:002015-09-19T10:53:06.443-04:00Thanks Contessa!Thanks Contessa!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-16901394106722567142015-09-19T10:52:47.737-04:002015-09-19T10:52:47.737-04:00Now did you REALLY know the answer or did you chea...Now did you REALLY know the answer or did you cheat and look at Dugg's answer! ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-9571814479326343622015-09-19T10:51:59.382-04:002015-09-19T10:51:59.382-04:00Yes, that is a really nice one too!

He will sure notice it when they do find their own place and will have his house back, that's when he will find that he really liked having them there.

I hope that they are able to get a place soon so they can settle down on their own and get into a proper routine. Cameron actually is able to go to school now but Lindsey didn't want to put him in a school only to take him out down the road and move him to another one, after all it is only kindergarten at this point.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-26604124663815485602015-09-19T10:15:42.132-04:002015-09-19T10:15:42.132-04:00They feel that Smith Falls is too far away for the...They feel that Smith Falls is too far away for them, it would be about the same distance or more from where they are right now at my Dad's and they think that is too far away.

Precious photos! Wishing your kids all the best in their endeavors. I've never heard of actuarials, so I have no idea. It sounds like a lot of hard work. Best wishes for your son & his friend in their race this weekend and for your daughter and her husband in finding a home. It sure is tough for young people these days. Housing costs are ridiculous.
