Oh thank you everyone! We knew that when we received our tax refund we would be able to add some from our savings to it and then pay off those 2 cards. It feels so good!! Now we will be snowballing into another card and I think that come July it should be paid off!!

That's great, you must be so excited that you are almost debt free. I have about 1 1/2 years left of debt repayments, but I'm getting there slowly but surely
