1. A small success. I got it in the noggin that I wanted to let the kids try skiing this winter. Since I didn’t ski growing up, I have no idea why this grabbed me, but it did. Ironically, the snow-dumping actually made it harder to get to anywhere to try it out. When the roads were clear enough, the timing was not right. This week, things worked out and I was able to take them to a local county slope to try it and everyone LOVED it. I know, anti-SIMPLE, anti-less for Lent, but it’s been nagging.
this is how I feel about finally taking them.
Every time I took a picture of Mark, he would put his arms up like this and the next day, he would do the same thing at the bottom of the hill-every time. I guess he’s been watching a lot of Olympics.
2. Mark and I started a Dave Ramsey class last week. We have our first assignment. I started reading his books about 5 years ago when we were still paying off my student loans. We don’t have tons of debt, only the house and a small car payment but I know we can plan our purchases better and save for things that we want to have and do. I’ll post an update.
3. More snow! I’m really not that bummed about it. I think I will be in March, though. Strangely, 6 inches doesn’t seem like that much, now.
4. Getting our taxes done today. Another strange thing, I LOVE this process. We usually get a bunch of money back. I know, I know, we should pay less throughout the year and I would agree, but even our tax advisor agrees that it would be difficult since Mark’s income varies from week to week and month to month. We’re boring and NEVER buy something fun with this but it’s nice to get a chunk o’ change back.
