~Wednesday Writings~

It's Wednesday, marking the middle of the week, and I am so excited for the weekend! Mainly for the break from work but also because Brian and I are going up to Portland for a Halloween/Birthday Party. It is at our friends house, Linus, who is the coach of the Blazer Stunt team, and his wife Beth, so we will get to hang out with all our Blazer friends that we haven't seen in awhile. We are really excited to see everyone again!

Brian talked to Horton's, the people who are working on our car, and said they received the welded head from the shop and will put the engine back together. We should get the BMW back on Thursday or Friday. Now, I know I should be really excited, but I think I won't be happy until I see the car in our drive way, ya know? It will be weird to have both our cars in the drive way, since we moved into our new place almost 3 months ago we've had either his car or mine in the shop. I pray we will finally have both cars for a long time!

Brian is studying hard for his MBA class and I am really proud of him. He stays up late posting entries and writing papers and it reminds me how grateful I am to be done with school. He has such a drive to go far though, and he knows his Masters will help him in his career. Very admirable hun, ♥ you :)

So Brian and I have been working REALLY hard towards paying off all our debt, that's right, ALL of it. We (mainly Brian) read a book, "Total Money Makeover" and we have been living by it ever since. The book's key phrase is, "Live like no one else now, so later, you can live like no one else." And that my friends is our plan, we are getting rid of debt and contributing to our Roth IRA's. About 2 weeks ago we paid off a credit card and last Friday we paid off the bug! Can you believe it?! We are so excited and have been working so hard to avoid unneccessary spending. We limit eating out, buy only neccesary groceries, no shopping sprees, no cable, and most importantly we live by a budget.

Brian is enjoying his job and things are going well for him at UPS. He talks about moving into management in the next year or so, but says he really does like driving. My job is going pretty good, some days I feel very productive and good at what I do. Other days I feel like I should be doing more and be overwhelmed like everyone else around the office.

Well, that is all that is on my mind right now so I will get back to work (can you tell which kind of day at work I am having if I have time to write this entire blog at work?). Have a wonderful Wednesday ♥
