Money and time

OK so for the last few weeks Josh and I have been very busy! He is totally swamped with work (which is a good thing) and I have been busy trying to clean up after him and make sure he is staying on task.
So as for the Total Money Makeover we have not finished it yet but, I am paying more attention to the things we waste our money on (i.e. late fees ! finance charges, overdrafts) and I have tyred to get my self set up on a budget (It doesn't have to last the whole month cause we kinda use my money at the beginning of the month and his toward the end). But I am more just trying to not go in the whole.
And good news from the front I have finally paid my cell phone bill of to a 0.00 balance for the first time in a year and a half!! And Josh has paid of his Snap-On account for the first time since he was 17!!!
New subject:
Over the weekend Josh, my dad, and I laid new flooring in his parents house as a surprise Christmas present. I looks soooo good the old flooring was about 25 years old and was in good condition but needed to go! And of course his parents LOVE it. The dogs are a little scared to walk on it but they will be fine. I will try and post some pictures later this week.

done with one and movin' to another

A new picture! Ya I couldn't get my ring on.

Ok, I finally have a minute to post something.

Well in the last month Josh and I finished the books we were reading (Foe Men Only and FOr Women Only). The night we finished we talked briefly about what part of the books impacted us the most. We both agreed that the chapters that talked about the different ways our brains process information were the most beneficial. I now feel that when we get into an argument, instead of just going at it we try to make it clear weather we really disagree or just don't understand due to the way our brain is processing. We now try to make things clear and to the point instead of assuming that the other one know what we are thinking. WE ARE NOT MIND READERS!!!!!

We have passed the books on to Josh's sister and her husband who are coming up on there first year of marriage and are starting to see themselves come out their "brand new marriage" stage. So I sat down and talked with Josh's sister and she thought that the books would help them, so that where they are now.

We started reading The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey last night. We got to page 30 and are just starting to get into the chapters on how to get out of debt. I like reading the stories they really do give me a feeling that "humm this sounds like it could really work!". For Josh the book so far is giving him hope that getting out of the money problems we have does not have to be so far down the road and that it can be done.

I go back to work next week so I will have more time to post new thing this has been a very busy month for all of us!
