My Funny Valentine

We had a simple fun two-day Saint Valentine celebration.

Monday we drove to Lawrenceville to visit with Rebecca and Alyshia and their sweet babies, plus a house full of moms and kids that Rebecca was so sweet to host a Valentine's party for.  I am so glad she included us!

Today Evie and I hung out around the house.  We both needed a day to rest after a crazy weekend.

This evening we went to church for a Mom's group couple's night.  A priest came and talked about marriage and raising kids - and how to support each other through these difficult years.  We were able to sit with two couples (and their babies) from our play group.  It's been nice to get out and meet some other young families...and where better than at church! After we got Steak and Shake milkshakes and settled in on the couch for an episode of a screaming baby How I Met Your Mother.

We hope you had a nice relaxing and simple Valentine's day with your loves, who ever they may be!


Yep, I just posted that.

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off?  Ah yes, the roach .  He's still alive.  It's been over 10 days.  Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him.  Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company.  Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers.  Chris and I have had a great time working together so far.  I'm really enjoying learning new things.  Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids.  It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables:  The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Our Debt Story Part IV: We're Debt Free...now what?!?!

WE’RE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before you celebrate with us, make sure you've read Elizabeth's Story , Eric's Story , and How We Climbed Out of Debt . Two and a half years of gazelle-ish-like intensity + the few months prior as emotional primer and slowed spending, we made it!  We paid off over $50,000.  We have two car titles. Closed credit card accounts. Statements from one student loan (and one on the way!) with a $0.00 balance.  All our debt with Eric’s parents is paid off.  It’s. All. Gone. We also paid for my 3 semesters of grad school in cash.  Paid a second car accident in cash (it was minor compared to the first one).  Went to Nicaraga on a Mission Trip in cash.  Went on a 5 day Puerto Rican vacation in cash.  We’re up to date on medical expenses for the baby in cash.  All while squeezing in travel for weddings , babies, family reunions, half-marathons , mini-vacations and to see out of town friends...in cash! ...
