$$$$$$$

Just an update.....I ran around all afternoon yesterday collecting the necessitites to do our taxes. Appears that this year proves to be the same as the past-REFUND!! Big Fat REFUND!! Praise the Lord!!! I believe it is just about the amount we need to pay all of the bills looming over our heads. Of course, I admit I am greedy and always want more, but I'll gladly accept what is coming and be ever so thankful! Wish you all happy tax season, if you haven't already done them. (Dad, don't wait until April 14th like you always do!! A refund could mean plane tickets to see your granddaughters!)

TAX Time

It's tax time!! I am one of those weird people who like doing their taxes. Call me crazy, but I do enjoy it. I think the biggest reason is because I always get a refund back. I think if I had to pay-in my enthusiasm would diminish. I like watching the little green/red numbers in the corner of Turbo Tax go up and down. The biggest thrill is thinking about what all I can use my refund for. Unfortunately there are always some sort of bills that need to be paid off before we can splurge. This year is no exception. Having a baby one month ago kind of puts a big dent in our fun money. Some part of growing up and taking care of what you know you need to do first takes away a bit of the fun. I do however feel a huge sense of accomplishment when I can write "paid off" on my bills. The two things I would really like to buy with our extra is a plane ticket to Raleigh for a girls' weekend in April and a new bedding set. Our bedding set has lasted 6 years and is falling apart. I think it is time!
So, it's off I go to collect our W-2s ( I can't wait for them to mail them :) ). I have to go buy Turbo Tax today as well. Putting together all of our tax papers is the least fun. Wish me luck! I hope this year proves to be the same as the preceeding ones!! Think REFUND!! REFUND!!

Welcome baby Lily

Ok, so Lily is almost 4 weeks old, but she is the biggest news I have. We welcomed her Dec. 30th. The girls absolutely adore her even though Abby has some jealousy issues. Can hardly believe I have 3 girls. No boy luck at all. I guess God has a reasoning for giving me all girls. She is such a good baby. I'm really enjoying her!!

The world of blogging

So, thanks to my good friend Amber I am now part of the whole internet postings world. I started facebook earlier this week and am now giving a blog a whirl. Guess I'm moving up in the world. Please be patient as I try to figure it all out!
