Yep, we should get locked in under 4%.

And the bank is paying the points.

We will be paying less with taxes and insurance for the house than we pay for this rental. And we can get our RV out of storage and save that too.

Kendra I thought that was YOU in your avitar pic! I just picture you when I am reading your posts. But dd probably looks a lot like you. So not far off. Hahaha

Funny! All my pouchies have "found" me! My whole life! But little Tia just found me in March & dh is still recovering from that. Poor man never had a pet in his life! Since he has been w me .. Birds, fishies (lots of fishies), a cat, rat & now our 3rd dog! He just doesnt want another one. I know it has something to do w Tia still having accidents in the house. He in convinced they are NOT accidents but revenge. Cuz it only happens when we leave her at home. Either way, he says "NO!". Quickly followed by "but you're gonna do what you're gonna do".

What I am gonna do is try to get him to Adoption Day tomoorrow & if he still says NO, I will keep checking on her status & mentioning it to him until he feels the "urge". I think he will come around. But will she still be avail?

Either way, I am happy with my little family. This morning I LOL when i thought of Kaluha with Tia Maria ... Good thing I like coffee drinks!

I want to join again!!!

I completely blew my budget in July but I stocked up on diapers for the next 4-5 months, so I'm happy!! But with a canning season in full bloom, I'll probably still bump my usual budget to $320.

She will be missed. She has inspired me more than she will ever know.

We have been living off our stockpile since April, however this is my first time doing it here.

Let me know if I am doing it wrong!

I'm thinking I will sit out this month because of my surgery. I still haven't completely decided, but, I'll definitely hang out to chat, even if I don't do the challenge
