Rising Gas prices :(

The gas prices have hit an all time high here. I changed my gas from regular unleaded to the kind with 10% ethanol because I could no longer afford the drastic price increases. This morning I gassed up and it was a straight hit to the gut. I had to pay $3.62/ 15 gallons which gave me the grand total of $51! Holy cow, I am going to work to pay for the gas that goes in my car to get me to work. What a vicious cycle, it's hard for me to put that much money into putting gas in my car. Thanks to my job being 30 minutes from work I have to gas up once a week. I am thinking about dusting off my bike and using that around my neighborhood. I might be biking to hang out with friends. I am begging to get concerned about what the prices are going to be like this summer. Having a job that isn't the best paying makes it hard when it comes time to choose whether to fill up the car or go to the store for groceries. Praise God that Bart and I are going to be living behind Aldi and not too far from Wal-mart thanks to the prime location of our new apartment. Most of the restaurants are in possible walking distance. Wedding plans are getting wrapped up, we are finalizing the wedding guest list this weekend and then I will be calling the club next week to give the final numbers for seating and food. We are working on the music for the reception and we should have that taken care of next week. I am going to an Admissions Counselor conference in Kansas City this weekend so I will be away from the planning and packing from Sunday till Tuesday. It will be an interesting break but my mind will be on what is left to do and how much stuff I still need to pack.
