I thought this weeks focus was very good and I felt like it had dealt with a lot of decisions that I will have to make probably sooner than later. We talked about the trend of female employment and how mothers are now getting jobs outside of the home instead of staying home and taking care of the kids. Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of being a mom. I wanted nothing more than to be a stay at home mom that cooked and cleaned and raised the kids. I thought it was so interesting how women view "homemakers" as something negative. I do not think there is one single negative thing about it. My fiance grew up differently than I did because his mother had a really good full-time job and he was raised by a nanny. It was a really awkward conversation about how he expects me to have a well paying job just like his mom did. I grew up with a mom that stayed at home and worked from home.
On Friday Brother Williams asked us to make sure that we put away our technology and I was kind of mad because I would always play on my phone. However, I put my phone away and the lesson was so good! Now I will always make sure to put my phone away :) We talked about finances and read Marvin J. Ashtons pamphlet called "One for the Money". Since I am getting married in 18 days (YAY!) finances have been on my mind a lot and I worry a lot. I thought this pamphlet was so handy! I guess you could say my testimony of not just tithing, but saving money in general was strengthened. I am excited to make a budget with my fiance and to try and do the best we can!
