Taylor has been invited to Barbe's Prom. He is excited to go and immediately started talking about what he would wear...because apparently both my sons are now clothes hounds. Taylor has been wanting a suit so he decided that he would wear a suit to Prom instead of a Tux. So, the next week I went to Dillard's and found one on serious sale. He is very proud of his new suit. He said that he definitely needs to do something that he can dress up in everyday when he grows up. He suit even came with a vest. This picture is from Wednesday when he went on splits with the missionaries and he came out with the vest on. Zack told him that was too dressy so he took the vest off. He even splurged for the tie with his own money and ended up spending 1/3 of the amount of the whole suit on just the tie!!
Taylor has been very good with his money, though. He cashes his check every two weeks and immediately divides out his tithing, long term savings, short term savings, and spending money. All of these have different compartments in his wallet. I am so pleased that he was willing to take a little advice from mama and daddy about his money. I know it will do him well if he sticks to those principles about money.
Taylor has been struggling with working so much at Subway and getting his school work done so this week we decided he would just quit and be poor. School is more important, after all. So he went in to his boss to quit and his boss said...how about you just work weekends? So, now Taylor only will work Friday and Saturday and can take those off if he needs to. It pays to be a good employee who people are willing to help out. He is doing so good. I'm a proud Mama!!
