So we overbudgeted fro the vacation. We thought $1000 was appropriate for vacation. That included wedding gift, extra gas money, motel, extra eating out, and "stuff" (like toys for the sand).

Well, we had a great time. Our vacation (1-day only) was on Friday at Tybee Island outside of Savannah.

It was SO fun! Couldn't put the littlest one down on a blanket. She has learned how to "move" on the ground. But, that was the "worst" of it....

Got our preview for our statement of our Friday paycheck.

NUTS! We won't be able to get under 10K.

$10,196.24 Student Loan (almost under...

So we just couldn't afford to wait any longer for Lowe's to put the Pergo on sale. So we had a carpet cleaner guy come out and clean the floors. This guy had rotating brushes and steam at the same time. Well, it worked! It got a lot of the stains out. And...

Well....Before you all start thinking we are not going to make it. We will make it, it just might take longer.
