Bye Bye Debt!

Gosh I can't believe it's been so long since I've written. In a weeks time I at least update a pic or 2 from my phone...

oh yea...i can't do that anymore. I downgraded. I went from a phone with all the bells and whistles to a phone with just a little whistle (texting). LOL. My choice. The only thing I used my "cool" phone for was emails (i have access to them all day long at work), facebook (who couldn't benefit from less fb) and the occasional "ooh! i need directions! pull up google maps!" I used a few apps here and there...but in all honesty, i didn't feel like i was getting my $30 a month out of it. So. I downgraded. Got rid of it all. Saving $30 a month now. Which means I can no longer email from my phone to post a blog. Or take a cute pic and immediately post it to my blog. I think I am going to miss that most of all.

But it'll all be worth it. You see. Starting NOW...(yup, right now...or officially March 1st will be our starting day)...Babe and I are determined to pay off our debt. The tax $$ is in (we actually got a return this year! first time in the almost 8 years we've been married) and it's jump starting our goal. We've been reading the Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey and have decided to try his method. Maybe not exactly how he says to do it, but pretty close.

It's going to be a long road. We do have a lot of debt. But, it gives us hope in knowing that each day we are 1 day closer to being able to say "We are debt free!" So please pray for us and cheer us on as we do this. We know it's not going to be easy, but it'll be worth it :)
