Mint.com is a wonderful (FREE) online program that helps you track your spending, create a budget and organize your financial life. I encourage all brides to check it out. Not only will it help with your wedding budget, it will also help you get on the same page financially with your fiancé as you head into marriage.

I just finished with my fourth training class to become a Master Gardener at the MO Botanical Garden here in St. Louis. It is really fun.

Today I had to memorize the Latin names for many of the conifer trees for a quiz and next week it will be shrubs. During class we learned how to do cuttings, graftings and plant seeds properly.

I found out my placement for my volunteer hours. I'm going to be helping lead tours for school children at the Litzsinger Road Evology Center. How cool.
