New scrapbook

I have started a new scrapbook with photos from our motorcycle trips. We took our first long trip for Bill's birthday. We went down Skyline drive and stayed the weekend at the resort in Gordonsville, VA. We visited the Natural bridge and it was great. I am looking forward to many more trips in the future.

Real world

Ok, we are back from our long weekend away. We have decided that we need more then 2 nights next time, especially when travelling on a motorcycle. Need a day to just relax.
With Bill and I both out of work (he is working a few days here and there) and my unemployment will run out in a couple weeks, I think I really need to find a job. I am trusting God to provide but it is hard to sometimes see how when things are looking bleak.

Don't understand

Ok, so I will admit it, I don't understand male thinking. We were supposed to go away to Myrtle Beach for a few days. We were going to leave early Tuesday morning and come back Thursday or Friday. We were also planning on taking one of the bikes. Monday night we were talking and planning out route. What I had thought was going to be a 10 hour drive turned out to be 14-16. My comment was it didn't sound appealing but I packed my bag and took 4 motrin to prepare for the ride only to have my other half decide the weather didn't look too good. Ok, so I say we could drive, it would cost a little more in gas but we would get there sooner. I ws told if we couldn't go by bike we weren't going. I guess cars can't drive to SC????? I still don't know why we couldn't drive. We were going away to spend time together and visit my parents on vacation down there. Is going away with me only bearable if we take a bike? I guess I will just never understand.

Our new life

Well, it was a long time coming but we are finally headed down a path that will lead us to a much better life. We are doing the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University and we finally have a written budget, though the numbers aren't exactly nice to look at. My goal is to be debt free (other then the house) by 12-12-12. No more credit cards, car loans, Bike loans, etc..... If we don't have cash, we don't buy it. It is really freeing. In the long run, I see the numbers and I can't wait for the day when the paychecks come in and the only bills that have to get paid every month are utilities and the house for a few more years. What a relieft it will be. If work tells Bill to take a few weeks off again, oh well, we can go away because there are no bills to worry about. I can't wait!

New Year, new me????

Well, here we are in February already, time really flies. I need to get back into my exercise routine. In the last 2 years I have lost 40 pounds but I really want to lose the rest of the weight I need to lose. With my work schedule right now, I find it difficult to find the time. I need to make the time to hit the eliptical every day and find my way to the Total Gym a few times/week. I can't wait for spring so I can get back to walking in the park.

This is the month I like least in the whole year. It has 2 "holiday" and I just want the month to be over. After spending so many years trying to make all the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc... special and finally realizing that they are only importan to me, I just don't care about them anymore. I had to make myself buy a Valentine Card this year. When Christmas rolled around I didn't even want to buy gifts for anyone. I don't think this is a good way to be, but I guess I just want someone else to realize that these days are important. I did get a card and flowers for Valentine's day, but in my mind it is too little too late. After no one remembered it was my 40th birthday last year, I just kind of gave up and all the special days.

I would love to have one of these

I am finally getting my own scrap space. A place to call "home". I have been looking for furniture for storage and came across this beautiful piece this morning on Facebook. They are having a contest to give away one Workbox to one lucky scrapper. boy, I hope it is me.
