So proud of Dylan...he is studying to get his ChFC (Chartered Financial Professional).  It's a series of 7 tests and he took Test #2 today.  He passed!!!

For all that has been going on lately, with vacations, house issues and purchasing, regular work days, and studying for the test...I'm very proud of him.

While Dylan was kicking butt on his test, I was volunteering with The Tarrant Area Food Bank in Fort Worth.  It was quite an eye opening experience and I really enjoyed it.

Once a month the food bank does a "mobile pantry" where families show up and get all kinds of food for free.  This week they had peaches, plums, potatoes, breads, desserts, tons of meat, lettuce, bagged salad and more.  These aren't homeless people, just families who struggle to make ends meet and need a little extra help.  In the training for this they explained that for most families, whether single parents or two working adults, most expenses are fixed... rent, utilities, etc.  So the main monthly expense that is usually sacrificed are the groceries, because it's the easiest to cut back on.  So surprising to see and know the number of children that go to school hungry every day and that some of these kids get their only meals while at school. 

We were cart pushers...we each took a family and pushed the cart for them around to each food station and helped them pick out there food.
