oh yeah, & no car payments!
we bought my van outright!
Also will be buying Dh a used gas friendly car soon as DS will soon be driving ~ but he'll be driving DH's truck that is from 1999 which means he will be driving himself to school & back at 5:30 am & 4:30 pm instead of us doing it... I LOVE that!!!
& since he will only be in our little bitty town rather than driving in one of the bigger towns.. yeah I feel better about that!
KimWaiting is teaching me to lean on Jesus that much harder!!!
Married 5 years to the man of my dreams!
Planning on adopting!!!
ME:
DH: Jesse 
, DS: Austin

I am sooooo enjoying this thread. We all run into problems, but this forum is excellent in giving solid advice and encouragement. What a joy to read all of these success stories! Some of us are further up the road of life than others, but we're all on the same road. Thanks for sharing your story.
Spiritual:
"You are fearfully and wonderfully made." Please... respect life.

Debt free, hoping to stay that way!

1. Keep on writing.
2. Get some balance in my life.
3. Lose weight. Hopefully 5# this year. (9.5 pounds right now! Yay, Me!!)
4. Continue to be looking for how God wants to use me this year.

I am on track to have my credit cards paid back before my student loans go into repayment in January - little by little my snowball grows!
On top of that, I have a job I love with a secure future and good salary. I feel very blessed!

I am fortunate to be earning a good hourly rate while working on an 8 month project. I am using the $$ to pay down debt, build a stockpile, and prepare for any future unemployment.
