Expiration Dates Are Important

This entire summer I have not had the privilege of having any type of vacation because I've either been working or going to school....or both. So, finally this weekend the family decided to just take a trip to San Antonio. Actually, my parents were here for business and they brought my brothers along, and Bethany and I met them up here last night (Friday) and we are staying until Sunday.

I have been looking forward to coming here to just shop and relax and....SLEEP!! I'm not technically done with school, but I'm close enough. Anyways, I can't ever take a trip without some sort of drama happening or me forgetting something....and with this trip, it had to do with my check card!

I knew that my check card was going to expire in August, and I kept looking for the new one at my parents house, but I never saw it and they never saw it to give it to me, so I just assumed that my bank was going to send it to me later (as in after August). I never did call my bank in time to get a new card, so here I am in San Antonio with an expired check card :(

I called one of my aunts who handles all of my finances, and she came up with a way that I could shop. Bless her heart! She said that I could transfer my money to my dad's account so that I could have that money to spend. Yay for loopholes!!
