I am taking a 4 week Bible Study with Beth Moore in Proverbs. This week was a REALLY great week being that Erik and I have been meeting with a financial advisor trying to pay debt off and prepare for our future. I just wanted to share this outline with everyone in case you need to hear this as well. Sometimes money issues can be so stressful and Beth helps us to see how we can be in bondage to it and we DON'T have to be!

I wish I would have gotten my booty up there Wednesday! Sounds like a great one. Do ya'll listen to Dave Ramsey?
Did you redo your blog? I really like it ... I am half crazy so it may be the same lol
We actually do listen to Dave Ramsey sometimes. We went through his program a few years back (before kids HA!) When we moved to Kerrville, we really dropped the ball!
Yes I re-did my blog! LOL!
We love Dave! You can imagine (or maybe not!) the amount of student loans we have w/ 2 chiropractic school loans *cry* We've been on baby step 2 for a looong while. But at least we have a plan and we haven't taken on new debt in years. Now that income is much higher we hope to be able to scream "WE'RE DEBT FREE" in a year or 2. Will definitely have a party on that day!
I'm glad you redid your blog b/c I LOVE the site you used so much I changed mine. I even took a new pic of the kids to sort of match lol.
Ummm our blogs look strangely the same;)
