Chuck's job is 35 miles from way so he's putting in 70 miles a day. Luckily he has a little car that gets good mileage. He's also starting to work from home a bit more than he used to.

Gas is $3.99 a gallon in our area. I don't know. I can't stop living my life and enjoying just cause the gas is going up. We're making minor changes such, but nothing big. Instead of driving 10 miles to the super walmart to get cheaper food, we're driving 2 miles away and paying the slightly higher prices. It all works out to be about the same. I'm also teaming up with my mom and we're trying to combine our store trips with each other. We'll be planting our garden again this year and putting in 2 dozen tomato plants so I can do canning. I'll also be putting up blueberries and peaches this summer.

Other than those things, we're not making changes yet. We still drive an hour away to go to a park and enjoy family time. We still are planning vacations, etc.
