It's so crazy here!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! I have been so bust. With the accountants coming in for work, my business, 3 kids the list goes on and on!

Well C and I got our taxes done and we are getting back much more than we expected! This is great news seeing we will get our e-fund up to where we want it to be and we will be paying off some debt! And finally replacing our garage door that has needed to be replaced since we moved in (5 years ago).

We are well on our way. C is still job searching and I am hoping he gets SOMETHING in the near future...

Well off to do some things for the accountants... This job never ends :)

This is me and my WONDERFUL husband. He really is the most amazing man I have ever met. We started dating in February 2005. We married in October of 2007.

We had the all-american dream. 2 great jobs, 3 kids, a house, cars, the life everyone wants to have! Well we still have this life, except the 2 great jobs. My husband lost his job in May of 2009. It was a huge blow to our finances, as well as our lives in general. Could it have been worse? OMG yeah, but we did what we could to make sure things would stay somewhat normal for the kids.

We were really doing well up till the last 2 months. Reality is setting in and my husband is still not having any luck in his job search. So I am going to start blogging about our progress to get rid of our debt and live a smarter life. Maybe going through this will make us so much more financially aware.

Seeing that I am an accountant, this should be easy... But it is easier with other peoples situations than it is with your own.

So here's to getting back to that perfect life we once loved so much... We will get there, not without some struggle and crying... But we will.

Wish us luck! We're gonna need it!
