Hubs took Roscoe and left for southern Idaho. He will stop and pick up his parents and then go on to our daughter's house. He had to take the dog for our grandson. One of our nieces is the Rodeo Queen in the Ketchum (Sun Valley) Idaho rodeo parade. So Hubs, folks and daughter and her family will travel up on Saturday to watch the parade.
I did not realize how much noise the dog made. He is always being called from outside, or being told no or not to do something. His toe nails and collar jingle around the house. He chases the cats and drives them crazy. He is a joy in action. It is weird to hear the house so quiet, but it is also nice. I love my puppy, I just didn't realize how much he affected my everyday life.
My sisters and I will leave tomorrow for Missoula. We have changed the place we usually stay to another. We will rent a car for the service so if brother shows he won't recognize or id our car. We have cousin who will be there that has a license to carry concealed. We will also ask for a police escort. What a lot of momma drama. But it will soon be over.
I have decided to pay off all the debt except the car and house. I will redo my budget and just doing this will free up over $750.00 dollars a month. I thought that I would be able to add extra to the house payment this month, but with our trip at the end of September, I will need extra in the savings to cover expenses that we will incur. The idea is to now stay out of debt, except for a land purchase, which if done right we might be able to pay for with savings. I just don't for see this happening soon. We have the money to buy land if we find what we are looking for.
My life is going to change in so many ways. Well actually it already has. I feel very content now that I have made this decision. It will be interesting to see how the next few months pan out and just how much I am able to pay extra toward the house payment. I still can't believe I am here. I have to pinch myself.
Well today I have to pay bills and then get a few things done in the shop. Sissie and I are going to set up my machines differently. I also have to make a few phone calls for September brides and get my month set up. I had another bride dress come in for the 15th of September.
So who is ready to see me off on this journey to pay off my house? On your mark get set go!
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Kim
