End of the Month Update

Craziness, these last few weeks. Hubby had some GI issues over the past month or so but all his labs and CAT scan came back negative, which is wonderful news! Perhaps he had a stomach bug or something. All I know is I'm relieved he is okay.

In other news, we finally got our taxes done the other day and are going to be getting a decent return...Federal Return is going directly into savings and the state return is going to our trip to South Carolina/Georgia this summer. We are thinking about June 11-18th for vacation (which will hopefully get approved) and are planning on driving down to Georgia to visit with his grandparents.

Then we will come back up the East Coast to visit our dear friends in South Carolina who are expecting their very 1st baby girl in less than a week!!! How exciting. So anyone reading this blog, please say a special prayer that our friend's labor will be short and that the delivery goes smoothly and that they have a happy and healthy newborn.

Today I opened a 2nd savings account because my goal in the new year is to save save save up money. We have not been to good at that lately so I am going to be setting monthly goals because it is oh so important to have an "oh shit fund," especially in this economy. Now that we have finally figured out how to manage our monthly expenses and know how much we should expect to pay on our bills, savings will be our focus!!!

March is right around the corner, and I am really looking forward to what it will bring...another month and more adventures to come!!!
