Within 2 1/2 years, our family had doubled in size. Although Marriage is a constant adventure, brand new Quests were "born" and our focus went from XP with each other to XP with the kiddos.

| Parenting: 200 XP LEVEL Up |
We decided that I would start these little guys off with me staying home and getting by as a single income family. It was at this time that we began to realize that "Middle Class" was a mythical land that was miles and miles away from our reality. We embraced what we had and worked towards getting all the XP we could.
Eventually, our pushing-on paid off and we found ourselves getting to the Boss Level in our World of "Lower Class". The fight was hard, and it felt like we may have lost a few too many of our Extra Lifes. Our Happy meter was hit pretty hard, but once that Boss was dead and we found ourselves unlocking this new world, BAM! we were ready.
2012 is our year to finally really start this trek. As we start at "Lower Middle Class" and work on Leveling up all areas we can in order to get to "Upper Middle Class" we really do find ourselves in a mythical world that we only dreamed about. Bills are still hard to pay, work is still demanding, kids are still little punks. But, we are able to breathe a little more and find the fun in cutting corners with our budget, make all those cool things we love out there but can't afford, try new recipes that call for ingredients that we don't already have in the house, etc. First thing for me to do, though? Start a blog. All Middle Class Moms have a blog. It's a staple. So, get ready for all our adventures as we gain XP, go on Quests, and Nerd it up on the interweb.
