Day 7: All Done!

#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.
