new do

some of you have asked to see the new do that i FINALLY had enough hair to pursue. Well, here it is. Hard to see the style because my hair is so dark - Nothing fancy but it feels cool and light and stylish and I love it.

Over the past couple days my husband and I have done something that we haven't done in a very very long time. Retail therapy. I have posted previously about our horrible stewardship for many many years that left us with a huge amount of sufficating debt at the start of our marriage in 2005. Part of righting the ship for us was lots of budgeting, scrimping, and going without. Not going without neccesities, but definately going without the wants. Happily, we are finally to the point where we have a bit of breathing room so, at my wonderful husband's suggestion, we headed out Saturday to replace some clothes that are well past their useful life. I have to admit, as much as I was looking forward to it, I had a hard time. I had spent so long NOT indulging in wants that it was difficult to go ahead and shop a bit. In the end, we both ended up with some nice purchases at reasonable prices. My husband is gushing over how great his new socks feel! It's the simple things that make us happy! It felt great to purchase things without even considering using a credit card. I shop differently now. No more buying just because. We spent the past two years paying off just because purchases and we refuse to go back.

Happy Sunday

This is the day that the Lord has made

Let's rejoice and be glad!
