#3 did it! Tomorrow he gets to buy candy and whatever else he has money for. He had a pizza party at school today and ended up sharing some of his Spaghettios because he was still kind of full. He wants to have a movie night tomorrow with the whole family.
Today our family also reached a financial goal. We wanted to be debt free and have a certain amount in savings by May. Today was payday and we were able to do it. It really seemed quite impossible, but we managed to do it with a combination of hard work, self-denial, and also with some help from a wonderful, generous relative or friend who anonymously sent us some money as a congratulations on becoming debt free. What a huge blessing that was! I opened the card that I thought was maybe a wedding announcement and I started crying.
Now to work up the courage to apply for a home loan. We're not sure how much the bank will want us to have in our savings to get a VA Loan, but we hope it's enough.
