Hello everyone! I had a great trip to VA to see my sister and her family. It was pretty packed with fun things to do. I really enjoyed just taking walks with her dog on her very hilly mountainous street!
It was wonderful to see so much majesty all around me! We went bowling, horse riding, swimming and creeking.....we tubed down a huge river. It really pushed me a bit on the comfort level and I was so glad I tried some new things! FUN! My sister is a very busy person. She leads a very different life since she is married and I am not. I had to walk in a small amount of grace. All in all I appreciated our differences.

My pantry is done!!! it is awesome! My friend used two bookcases to fill my pantry instead of building shelves. It has been a great way to get shelves for much cheaper! I am so organized!! My other jobs got done as well. So I was so glad to get things done while I was gone.
I feel like I won the lottery! Being organized and tidy really helps to be on top of things money wise. I love it!

We found a car for my daughter. We have not purchased it but may if she passes her test on Thursday. If she passes I will be literally shouting all over my blog!!!! Get ready for some noise if she gets her DL! The car we are looking at is a used Ford Escape. It is really a great price for a 2004. Hopefully it will last. They have it displayed on the lot way up front....so we will see. It is a nice SUV and I am so glad we found it. It is scary to know I will have another car in my driveway......that is three cars I will own. Very scary.

Money is tight but I knew it would be. Gas is terrible.I had a bigger electric bill which hurt. Hopefully once we get back to school things will get better. I am working on Sunday so I will get some extra money. The gal who works Sunday wanted off....I could not pass up the opportunity to work. So I will be working 6 days in a row. Tiring just thinking about it.

My son leaves for college in one week. I will miss him. I will miss him mowing! It is back to mowing my yard again. It is time consuming!! Oh well. We have to shop for some things for him to take to school.

My dad wants to come back to my house and do more odd jobs. He is not one to sit around bored. So I need to make a list for him. I think I will have him hose out the garage for me.

I need close out my MM savings account. I do not have enough money in it and I keep getting charges. I just don't have alot to save right now. I will re-open a plain old savings account to park money.
I just can not save alot right now. Sad but true.

Enjoy your week! Take care---
