    OK, I must admit I'm running on about 4 hours sleep, which makes me a little over-emotional to begin with, but I literally teared up a little reading that...so GOOD to hear a 'we did it' story in the midst of all the foreclosure and going bust stories we're swamped with on the news these days.

    What could be a better gift to your newborn, then a financially sound household? Newborns bring a lot of joy AND stress, but it will be all the easier due to your diligent focus to clear up those debts. CONGRATS. Talk about 'changing your family tree!'.

    Congratulations on all of the life changes. Prayers for a quick & safe delivery and a quick recovery for your wife! Get some sleep now while you both can.
