to new adventures...

I posted earlier this week how life has been a roller coaster

and let's face it,

when hasn't it been?!

But the blessing of the roller coaster has been the ability realign our goals,

take a look at our family budget

 and refocus on what we want.

But short-term and long-term.

And as stressful as it has been, 

at the same time it has been such a strengthening experience for both M and I and our marriage.

So staying in our house has been a creative challenge. 

First, we wanted to crack down on saving up $$ 

since such a huge chunk is coming out of our savings.

Have you ever noticed how many pitstops you take during the week for small unnecessary things?

Like lunch? Or coffee? Or just for one or two things at the store?

I didn't realize HOW much we were OVERspending.

And second, we needed to get creative in reorganizing and purging.

And three trips to Goodwill later...

we're still working on purging.

It's amazing how much yarn crap accumulates quickly.

So here's to new adventures, both in life and on the blog.

I'm excited to have an outlet to write again.

I'm excited for these changes.

I'm excited.
