So Number 6:Giving more than you can afford to charity ... One day, Jordan and I were walking around Temple Square. On our way back to the car, we passed a man on the sidewalk, holding a sign up for money. We had just gone to the atm and gotten lunch so Jordan knew we had a twenty and a five in his wallet. He pulled out his wallet, pulled out a bill and handed it to the man as we passed. A few minutes later when we got into the car, Jordan pulled out his wallet again ... noticing he hadn't pulled out the five for the man ... he'd pulled out the twenty. Now giving twenty bucks to a needy man isn't a bad thing, but when you're nice and poor like Jordan and me, five would've been generous enough! :o)

LOVE YOU ALL! :o)
