Our Spring Break Bucket List




I am so excited to have our first "Spring Break" as a family of four.  Even though Evie went to school last year, I had Maggie on the first day of her Spring Break. It was perfect timing so I didn't have to juggle one more thing, but we didn't get to do all the fun things we had planned.

This year she is old enough to have some ideas of what she wants to do with her days off from school.  Evie LOVES to make lists...just like her mama.  On our way home from the indoor jumpy playground this morning we decided to make a list of the things we want to do over Spring Break.

  1. Fly Kite - Eric and Evie have been trying to fly kites for over a year now. This is a must have for windy spring weather.
  2. Ride Bikes  -  Nothing special but Maggie is getting a new-to-us tricycle for her birthday and I know we'll want to spend time riding bikes.
  3.  Park -  Our closet park is being remodeled. The toddler area is thisclose to being finished. We can't wait to try it out!
  4. Plant Our Garden - We may not get to actually plant it, but we'll be working hard to finish weeding, tilling, and getting the ground ready to plant after Tax Day
  5. Cousin Playdate - Cousin Connor has his Spring Break next week too and my mom is watching him most of the week. We can't wait to play together (maybe at the park! or riding bikes!)
  6. Ice Skating - Evie came up with this all on her own. I've never talked to her about it. Either books or television gave her the idea. I hope she and I can sneak out to try it. I love to skate too!
  7. Aquarium or Zoo - We've tried to do one of these on Spring Break since she was just a few months old. She said she'd like to go to the Aquarium this year because sissy would like to see the fish.


Our rainy day options include bowling, JumpJump, and indoor puttputt!
What's on your list this year?

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! ...
