Dave Ramsey - the Cars are paid off!

So you may have seen in my blog before you have seen this, which I got to change today:

                                         8/23/11                    1/26/12                   8/19/13            11/15/13          

Lindsey Car                     $14,985                    $11,800                   $0!                  $0!                  

Josh's Car                        $18,250                    $16,300                   $5,000             $0!                         

Josh's Student loan          $22,000                     $20,800                  $19,282        $19,150                       

Lindsey's Student Loan   $21,250                     $20,600                  $16,718         $16,200     


It is SUPER exciting to have NO MORE CAR PAYMENTS!! After this experience I will never let Josh and I go in to debt for a car, we will pay cash for our cars going forward. We still have 35K in Student loans but the goal is to pay off Josh's (19K) by December 2014.


Who knows how life will change between then and now, we are going to the doctor next month for one final decision from the doctor on having more kids so that may factor in to what we do after we pay off Josh's student loan if I am pregnant. So we shall see but for now I had the whole family do a happy dance this morning as it is so nice to have less bills every month and be able to make large dents in the student loan department now. Anyway......that's all that is new in that department as we go in to the second to last game of the football season against Wofford tomorrow.

Ready for this season to be over! lol

We will be going to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. We were just there last weekend for the App State/GA game




Fun time with family and friends!

A funny thing Jake said recently: his friend was telling him his/her parents fight and jake's response was "With Swords?" lol   He/she said no, yelling. Sad but funny at the same time.

2 other funny things Jake has said:

While eating ABC's 123's he said "Mom, the people who made these DO NOT know how to write in D'nealian"

He also told me randomly last night that when he had to dress up as Firefighter Fred at school all the girls crowded around him and told him how cute he was lol

Jake is doing well at school. At the first parent/teacher conference Mrs. Crump said he was a very active boy who like to make noises as we worked and play in his desk although he is not a disruptive child. She said if she could pick children to have in her class he would be one. He really enjoys math and needs to continue to sharpen his reading skills. He loves football and says he wants to be a quarter back. He loves to play with the bigger kids in wrap around care.

Buster went to the vet this morning for shots. He is 3 months old and 8 pounds. The vet said in about 6 monthes that is the biggest he will get which is probley 15 pounds or so.

Halloween 2013

This year for Halloween Jake had to dress up as a Letter Land character for school (Firefighter Fred) and Josh and I luckily were able to participate and decorate our car and hand out some small pieces of candy.

We are luckily to have lots of kids the same age on our street. They play together a lot and every year one family does a hay ride on Halloween. Above is Sydney, Jake and Lucas who are buds.


The entire group.

A fun Halloween was had by all. Next up the Chattanooga game this afternoon and then off to UGA next week!!
