Closer to Debt Free Living

Max shared the news with me yesterday that we are one step closer to being out of debt completely!! This month we will have paid off ALL of our credit card debt!! I can hardly believe it. The Lord is blessing our efforts and we just keep "rolling". Dave Ramsey does know what he is talking about with all that financial stuff! I must admit it hurt a little to live on a budget at first, but that envelope system has saved my life...or at least my bank account. :)

So keep praying for us. The biggest elephant is ahead - school loans!! Yikes!

Tag I'm It

See Madonna...I'm a good friend. Just horrible at keeping up on the blog. :) Thanks for giving me a reason to post.

My Joys:
1- Spending QT with my husband & my friends
2- My nephew, Carter and my new niece, Claire
3- Knowing I am exactly where God wants me right now and ministering in ways I never thought possible.

My Fears:
1- Failure
2- Being left alone and intruders
3- Spiders dangling from the ceiling in the middle of the night above my bed (true story)

My Goals:
1- To raise a family someday
2- Go on mission trips to Europe, Asia and Africa and make it to Israel someday
3- To go to New York and go to the Today Show

My Current Obsessions/Collections:
1- Rice Krispy Treats and Barq's Root Beer
2- Getting in shape (I don't think the first obsession helps in this area)
3- Wanting to buy a Toyota RAV4 - they are just too cool.

Random Surprising Facts About Me:
1- I can burp with the best of them (although not surprising to those who are around me all the time)
2- I've never broken a bone in my body (now watch...I just jinxed myself)
3- I've watched every episode of Saved By the Bell numerous times and am recently NetFlixing all the seasons to rewatch them again. I've been able to tell you what each episode is about just by looking at the title of the episodes in the menu.

Tag Your It
1. Loretta

(don't roll your eyes at me...just have fun with it!)
