Financial Peace University

So, we finally got the government money for the house, and one of my requests was to take a class with Chad.  It's called FPU, or Financial Peace University, it is classes by Dave Ramsey on managing money.  It is a 16 week course and we chose to take it online.  We wanted to go to the actual classes, but arranging babysitting and finding local classes for once a week was a little challenging, whereas if we do the online we can go at our own pace.

We finally watched the first couple lessons and are thoroughly impressed and rather excited to start this adventure and see the change we can make in 16 weeks!  Wish us luck and feel free to join us!

Oh, and here is my reasoning for taking this course, http://moneysavingmom.com/series/saving-100-down-for-a-home?orderby=date&order=ASC.  One of the bloggers I follow was able to saving enough money over 7 years to purchase their home in CASH!! Thanks to Dave Ramsey and his classes, this was all the incentive I've needed!

We'll keep you posted.

Oh the joys of pregnancy!

Sorry followers, I have been unsuccessful at posting lately.  We enjoyed an awesome vacation home to Utah, gorgeous weather, fun activities, yummy food and wonderful family!  But sadly, we had to come home, and even worse it was like 108 degrees one of the first days we were home.  We are kind of adjusting, enjoying our AC a lot and our little swimming pool.  This post is going to be a short one, I can't really sit in front of a computer for very long without getting nausea.  Plus I have to write a talk and plan a primary lesson for this Sunday.  So I'm just touching base with the few of you, and letting you know I'm surviving.  My morning sickness is still pretty bad, but mostly because we still haven't gone grocery shopping so there isn't much I like around the house to eat.  I also started having tooth pain after a filling fell out in Utah, went into the dentists today and found out I have an absess that is infected and I need a root canal - YAY ME!!!  So sadly, because of my pregnant state, all I can take for pain is the antibiotics and tylenol, which doesn't do much.  So yeah, I'm gonna go work on my lesson and talk and then drug up on tylenol and then try to sleep, wish me luck!
