The Beddes Clan

I think that its official. Kaydee and I are an old couple. Scoff if you will but we had a very sad experience this past week that proves it. It all started when my monthly pouting day came. (a.k.a The day that Kayd and I go over the monthly budget....) And in my desperation to be a good bread winning husband decided that I needed to find a way to get some more money. So I took any route that I could find that led me away from another job, and manual labor. And what do you think happened? I was hit over the head with inspriation!!! Back in May of last year, our auto insurance broker told me that when I turned 22 our rates would go down. And now, I am 22. Why didn't I jump on this earlier? I immediatley emailed our broker and chewed him a new one. Or more realistically just asked very politely if I was correct in my recollection. AND I WAS!!! I was pretty happy with myself, when all of the sudden our broker sends me a new estimate. Elation doesnt even begin to describe my emotions when I realized that we would be saving half. Thats right HALF of our auto insurance bill!! Kaydee probably jumped about two feet in the air when my screams of delight were heard in the kitchen, quickly followed by bellows of " Guess how great I am " and " How good of a husband am I?" This is when it was so very nicely brought to my attention that we are officially OLD and PATHETIC. I mean seriously... auto insurance? bills? Who are we? We are 22 and 25 years old; Anti social degenerates who get their jollies from saving money on monthly bills! And the thing is, we arent desperatley poor, its just the highlight of our week. Thats what makes this so sad. And it makes me wonder, what is going to happen this week that will delight us? Maybe they will bring back re runs of TGIF!
