Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We just got back from Dothan and visiting family. That is always fun! I have been reading more of the Dave Ramsey book and we have paid off Steven's school loan :] We already have baby step 1 complete which is to save $1,000 as a baby emergency fund. Then you're supposed to start paying off all your debts from smallest to largest. So one down, two to go! We are going to pay more on the truck each month now and hopefully have that paid off around tax time...assuming we actually get some money back this year...we've had to pay the previous two..yuck! It will get rid of a lot of stress if we can get his truck paid off though. Then we only will have 1 loan left and the payment on that isn't too high and we can manage that. Seeing if Steven's stuff gets approved for school and if so and we get the BAH that will help us pay things off faster which will be great. I would love to be debt free! Our cell phone contracts are almost up too so then the only thing we would HAVE to pay each month would be our rent...and we can totally do that.

We got Reid a few toys for Christmas this year. We figured he won't really remember this Christmas so he doesn't need 100 toys. He already has so many toys and mostly only plays with 4-5 on a regular basis. We got him a little toy helicopter that makes sounds and has balls that you put inside. We got him a shape sorter cube where it has all the different shapes and you place them in the correct hole. Then the last thing we got him is a little musical table. It is just a small table that can sit on the floor or on the legs and it has a few things he can play with on it. Steven's parents got him a wagon so I'm really excited to be able to take him for walks in it. We haven't got any picture of Reid with Santa. They are just too expensive and Reid probably won't even like Santa anyway lol. He has stranger anxiety now and only likes to be around people he knows.

I have been looking on pinterest a lot lately trying to find cute things that I can make on my own for our apartment to make it feel more like home. The walls are all bare right now because Steven's toolbox (and hammer and nails) are all in Dothan lol. I just need to decide on one idea instead of 1,000. Everything always looks so neat on there that I want to try everything..but just can't.

There is a zoo here in Montgomery and I want to take Reid really bad. He loves animals and I think he would LOVE the zoo. It's $10 though for every visit to the zoo. They have year passes but I'm not sure how much we'll actually go so I don't know what to do about that. We'll see. Well that's about it for today. :]
