4 months!

As of yesterday, it was 4 months since I started exercising 6 days a week. That is really a big deal for me. I have never stuck with exercising for this long or this consistently! So I am pretty impressed with myself. LOL. I'm still working on the eating better. I am making strides towards that. I'm actually looking forward to my next doctor checkup to see how my Hemoglobin A1C's are.

Tasha made it safely to where they were staying last night on the way to Colorado and she will drive the rest of the way there today. I only cried a little after she left. LOL. I enjoy the empty nest, but I still miss my kids.

Prayers needed

Natasha is leaving tomorrow for Colorado. Please pray for her as she travels and as she is there. Pray for me too. I know it's what she's supposed to be doing, but I"m having a Mommy Moment and don't really want her to go. LOL.

And on another note, why is it costing us so much for her to go to Colorado? Two new tires (over $100 each), a physical for her job (not sure how much that is going to be yet), new contacts (over $100), and just random stuff she needs. UGH!

Seriously, these people aren't too bright

I've been blogging about our journey out of debt and mentioned that we've settled several credit card debts over the last few months (four out of the six, to be exact). Well, last week, I got a credit card offer (first one in forever) in the mail. Funny thing is, I"m about 99% sure that the offer came from one of the companies we just settled with a few months ago. Really? They already want to offer me credit again? Brave souls, aren't they? LOL.

Anniversary trip

Tom and I have our 20th anniversary coming up this December. This week, I found a deal through Google Offers to stay for two nights at this Bed & Breakfast in Oklahoma City. I am super excited! Now the room is already paid for and we'll just need to save up money for whatever we want to do while we're there.

Making Progress: debt update

Well, I haven't updated our debts in a while. Yesterday, we were able to settle another credit card one, so that puts us down to two credit cards. They are big ones, so they'll take a while to get paid off.

We are down to around $250 on the 2007 tax bill and all the tax portion is paid off so it should quit accumulating interest. The 2006 tax bill is still up in the air. I haven't got another bill since I made the payment last month and I don't know if they've ever corrected it. I need to call them, but as you can imagine, making phone calls during the day here is almost impossible. I'll be adding the $25 from the credit card we settled yesterday to the 2007 tax bill and God willing, that will be paid off by July. Then that money will roll onto the 2006 tax bill, and so on. Let's get that debt snowball rolling!!!!

$200 towards student loans
$118.02 + $75 towards our Napa bill (PAID!!!!)
$386.78 towards our 2007 tax bill

$125 towards our 2006 tax bill
