AMY SAYS...
Someone once told me (WELL MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID) that if they found out that their 'girlfriend/boyfriend' owed $180K in debt of any kind, they'd break up immediately and run the other way.
To which Gareth said, "Well, we all know what I did.'
That makes him a prince.
But what does that make me?
I have now been equated to:
a) a heavy drug user
b) a wife who racked up her credit card bills while her husband slaved away at two jobs
c) a ding-dong damsel in de-stress
I assure you I am none of the above ;)

A loan, a gift or something else?
GARETH SAYS…
The $33,500 I gave Amy a few months ago has a tendency to rear it’s head every now and then mainly because we haven’t agreed what it is. It all happened in a bit of a whirl. A check was written, a check was cashed.
Is it a loan to be repaid? Is it a gift?
Amy hates ‘owing’ me so I came up with a solution…
It’s an investment – not just in us but in Amy’s art. I have asked Amy to sell me $33,500 of her art. No more ‘owing’ – it is a straight forward business transaction! I like the idea of becoming the biggest collect of the wonderfully talented Amy Globus.
Some people thought I was crazy handing over the check - but who knows, it might just be the best investment I’ve ever made!!!

Dinner
AMY SAYS...
Last night we went out to dinner with our friends Michael and Jennifer. We started discussing our blog. I was looking through the early entries today and well, because life and love have been a little rocky lately, I started to re-read the earliest entries...then the entries from a few months ago...
I remembered how I felt when I met Gareth.
I remembered how I felt when ONB began.
I remembered how I felt when OBN was extended.
...and although things between us seem unstable and rocky right now I realized that I feel closer to him then ever before.
I realized that even though my love goggles grew strangely hazy, I love him more today then ever before.
I realized that during every hardship we've encountered, we have truly held each others hands, become best friends, and have jumped through hoops of fire, for each other and together.
Awe shucks ;)

Nope NOT 9 1/2 weeks, but in 6 1/2 weeks we will have paid off the INTEREST on the Public loans - then we get to pay off the principal.
Current Principal Balance: $87,379.22
Current Payoff Amount: $99,999.92

An expensive mistake
GARETH SAYS…
Last night I asked a waiter for a café au lait ($3.50) and ended up with a crème brulee ($9).
I figured it must be my accent and - being English - didn’t say a word and just sat there eating my unwanted dessert.
