Money, money, money
As most of you know, my husband and I have been looking to start building another home VERY soon. Well, Sean brought up an excellant point the other day. He said “We shouldn’t start paying for our future until we’ve finished paying for our past.” This meaning that we should pay off all our debt before tackling another huge loan (i.e. mortgage) So! We’ve decided to batten down the hatches and tighten up the budget as much as possible! This is going to SUCK for about 8-10 months, but afterwards we will be…*drumroll please*…. DEBT FREE!!!! Well, until we get that mortgage anyway. :) This is going to be so amazing! However, the sacrifices will be hardest on me, I think. Sean really doesn’t enjoy shopping all that much, except for cars and that is a huge money-maker for us, so he won’t have to stop. I, however, will need to put the total kabosh (spelling?) on all shopping for clothes and fun stuff for awhile. *sigh* So, I will be accepting donations in the form of gift cards, if you find yourself wanting to alleviate my sadness. :) j/k It’ll be okay…because afterwards we’ll have SO much more to work with! YAY!!!!
On a side note (that is far more fun), my baby boy got his first tooth on 2/28! So cute! I’ve attached a photo. :) He’s also rolling around and holding his own sippy cup! What fun parenting can be! Oh! And Sean bought us a jogging stroller (before the shopping embargo started) so we’ll be running outside as soon as the weather allows!

My first tooth!
