Happy First Part of the Month

I am always pleased when a new month rolls around. That means new budget, and that in turn means, new SNOWBALL money! We are scheduled to pay another credit card off this month! I am very excited about that. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen until the 22nd. :(

Our lease is up in September... (we have to give 60 days notice)... we have to decide what we are going to do. We are paying a lot in rent right now, and we could probably find something for $300 less a month. This place was brand new and pretty big... I am just in that need to save money! mode, and I don't want to pay more than I have to. So we have some decisions to make.

To talk about more fun things... I stumbled upon this blog called This Young House. Here is the link: http://www.thisyounghouse.com/ . What a great couple...Go on and take a look. She has a section (page) that is dedicated to their at home wedding - it's exactly how I would have loved to have done it. I may even borrow a few ideas for an upcoming anniversary. Maybe throw myself a 20 year party? Is it okay to do that? Throw myself a party? I guess I could say I was throwing it for DH. lol...

Oh. In other (horrible) news. My work laptop died last night! It's soooo dead it's not even funny. My boss told me to take today off - and to have some fun. I feel guilty... I have so much work to do! That reminds me... I also have my first Masters Degree paper due tomorrow night. It's going to be a busy day after all!

All Gussied Up with Nothing to Say

I dislike first posts. I feel like I have to make a *big* statement. In truth, I don't know what to say. Please read me! Or... Ignore this post, I promise more interesting ones to come! I just want to dive right in, and have a full-fledged blog going on.

I am starting this blog because one day I would love to have a place to document the purchasing and decorating of our first home. The issue right now? We aren't in a position to buy. I can assure you though, we are working on it! I am estimating that we will be able to start looking in about 12 to 18 months. I cannot wait. Until then, I will post about our journey and about anything else that happens to us along the way!

Whew. First post done!
