Hello from West Texas
Hey everyone,
I have been slowly emerging myself into the life of frugality over the last few years. DH and I have felt convicted to get out of debt and become as self sustaining as possible. A lot of factors have played into this decision, but the overwhelming factor is the desire to live a much simpler life. I am all about less is more these days. I love to cook, hunt, fish, and garden. We have a little girl who is 3 who also loves the outdoors. DH is a paramedic/firefighter and I am a substitute teacher and full time graduate student. Have greatly enjoyed reading all the posts around here.

Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
