He so desperately wanted to play in the ball pit, but there were A LOT of kids in there and, I'm not a germ freak, but the kids have been pretty healthy, so we nixed the ball pit and played in the gym.

Have you started a money makeover? What are you planning on paying CASH for? What bill are you paying off? Share a bit of your story! No story is too small to share! Real life stories keep Carrie motivated. Catch up on Our Story to see how far we’ve come.
Emergency Fund - $1000 – Stocked
House Fund – Goal $20,000.00 by 3/31/2013. The house we put an offer in fell through, so we are starting from scratch. I have a new drive to work like crazy and stock pile more savings! We still have nearly $2000 in medical bills to pay for by the end of February, plus tuition is due the end of February. So, this should be an interesting month or two here. We will get reimbursed for our medical bills starting in February and I'm so thankful for that! We also massively cleaned our basement, and I'm donating and selling lots of items, hopefully to make for a smoother move once we find a home!
The following are the other loans we currently have, but will put them on the back burner as we save for a house bigger than a 2-bedroom for our family of SIX! We plan on keeping the duplex we currently own, and renting out the side we currently live in, thus earning more money each month that will pay these off for us

Emergency Fund - $1000 – Stocked
House Fund – Goal $20,000.00 by 3/31/2013. This will cover the down payment, closing costs, as well as “sprucing up” the home to make it our own – aka, new furniture, paint, bedding, fencing for the backyard, swing set, etc. It will also be used to fix up our side of the duplex we are living in so it is ready for new renters. The house we are fighting to buy - we don't need near this amount right off the bat! The amount below is more than what we need! The rest saved from here on out is for repairs, new carpeting, paint and appliances.
