Dreaming of Home

Happy to announce we have made some positive changes to start working towards life goals for this family. One big adjustment is our new budgeting system recently put into place. After testing it the last few months, and making necessary monetary adjustments, it seems to be working for us. Kevin and I decided it is worth the scrimping, saving and sacrificing we are enduring (minus the fabulous trip to the Carribbean we leave for in a couple weeks) in order to save for something better. Luckily, we were smart to create a budget that is manageable, the perfect mix of work and play. There is no time like the present to take advantage of the blessings we have been given (Kevin recently got a promotion!) and use them wisely towards buying a little home we can call our own. Like I told my mother-in-law, it may take years and it's just a step - but it's a step in the right direction. We are like hungry kids waiting for our own piece of the (American dream) pie. Baby steps. We'll get there. And until we do...we are going to enjoy the ride.
