Tax return hit today...

I am paying off all the small bills we owe. After I mail these we will owe our car payment and a family loan, even if we pay the minimum on both of them we will still be completely debt free in less than 3 years.

Yep. You'll have a party when you pay the last of those off, believe me.

YES! YES! C*o*G*r*A*T*u*L*a*T*i*O*n*S!!!!!!!!!

I am thrilled for you and this progress!! It energizes me with our plan and following it.

Also, how is the job? (dh's) My dh has heard all about your help and mentoring to me (which was LIFE CHANGING!), and I was talking about you again and he asked how the job situation was and if you are with your (sister?) or in your own place and whatnot. You probably never knew we discussed you and your family, huh? Hope that is not creepy...it is because of how much you have touched my life with your mentoring, advice, counsel, and love.

Awe, thanks Michelle. We are in our own place now but still are close to our family. Dh still isn't working full time and we hope that he finds something by the end of the year. He is working part time at a church but they have a house and we are living in it, they pay all the utilities so it has been a real blessing. It is actually one of the nices place we have ever lived. It is a 4 bdrm house with a den we use for a play room and a large front yard. The back yard is fenced with a swingset. The boys love it.
