Such a Chore
1 week ago
Why do I have this love/hate relationship with writing? Anyway, I caught up on my garden blog. However, there’s so much I want to write about my teaching, and it’s so far behind….

How I did it
It made me
Jubuliant 
How I did it: Focusing day by day. We got on Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover plan, and put our Debt Snowball chart on the wall in the office. Then we cut to the bare minimum. No fun, but now we have no payments! Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: Having to get up to be at work at 7:45am was very helpful, as I knew it would be. I'm still a late night person, but at least I'm used to a regular schedule again. Read how I did it…

Getting Back to It
1 week ago
My new job really consumed me, and I kind of got off track. I’ve been gradually trying to get back into it. I did pretty good this week.
My favorite pic from this last week is from November 15. I’ve been enjoying getting pictures of the fall color, but I think that season is pretty much finished.
Total Money Makeover
2 weeks ago
I can’t believe we’re pretty much on Baby Step 5 of Dave Ramsey’s plan. We’re debt free and have our 6 months of expenses in a money market account. We don’t have kids yet, so we’re not saving for college. It’s time to pay extra on the house.
We want to enjoy life a bit again too, so our current plan is to live off DH’s income and use at least half of my income on extra payments for the house. I don’t make a ton, but every bit helps.
