WOO HOO!!!

Today we were able to pay another $2,060 to the Visa!! WOO HOO!! That brings our balance below that milestone of the balance we'd had FOREVER. I can't even remember it being below $6,400. Of course, it had to be below that amount at one time....I just don't remember it because it was so long ago. It's like weighing 75 lbs. I know I had to weigh that at one time in my life...I just don't remember when I went past that mark. Too long ago. Anyway - I paid part of the Visa payment, then after we got everything finalized, DH made the rest of the payment. So we both got to share in the joy of paying down more money. It ROCKED!

Anyway....DH and I are finally going on our big date with the nice dinner. We're also going to a movie....yup...too exciting. But hey...it's been SO long since we've gone to a movie together - with out the kids - that this is a BIG deal! I can't wait. I don't think either of us really cares what we see....it's just the 'getting out' and being together that really matters. Awwww....

So - we most likely won't make the self-imposed November deadline, but it will definitely be before the year is through. I can't wait!

DH was kind and generous and awesome enough to give me another $200 bucks for clothes. So, today I went shopping and it was FABULOUS. I loved it. My 5-yr old was an awesome shopping partner. Okay....he did hide in the racks a bit too much, but other than that, he was the BEST. He told me that the shirts I got looked cute and that I looked cute....what an ego boost. Even if it was from a five year old! He's a sweetie!

I'm thinking that we planned a little bit better this time for our budget. We padded some envelopes a bit thicker than we did last time....specifically the gasoline envelope. It's getting WAY too expensive, but that's a topic for another day! I'm ready for upcoming birthdays, teacher gifts, family obligations, etc. I hope I haven't forgotten anything this time. I just get so excited to get rid of that stupid credit card debt! I hate it!
