Greetings Everyone!

The past couple of days have been a rollercoaster for me. We sold the mineral rights to our property for a nice amount. We paid off a lot of Husbands previous debt from his messy divorce with his first wife (which he is paying for 6 years after the fact) as well as a lot of beneficial things to improve the house, investments, and what not. We certainly didn’t spend the money frivolously. Every penny has been planned out so it will benefit us in the long run which is great because I am really looking forward to the future financial wise.

So, after a day of planning the money out, actually paying off debt, putting money in investments/setting aside money for taxes, ordering a desperately needed new washer and dryer among other purchases we sat back realizing how much money we dropped. We were basically shell shocked. We aren’t used to that. The day after I felt so exhausted and emotionally drained that I laid around doing nothing what so ever. Husband was the same.

In all that Husband and I got matching mountain bikes. His is blue and mine is purple. We have been going riding here and there. It’s a lot of fun and a great work out. I thought I was getting into shape because I was up to push mowing the property for about an hour and a half without a break six times a week. Uh…No! I am totally out of shape. I got on that bike and thought I would die after 10 minutes and my butt hurt from the seat. Husband and I went today and got a big old cushy seat and swapped it out- so I have a happy bottom now! Haha!

I managed to get my paper done by Tuesday of this week and I have yet to turn it in. I should have taken my test Thursday as that is what I planned on but I just don’t feel like it. That is why I shot a head two weeks was to a lot myself some time if I just don’t feel focused. No pressure. I am still getting a 97.50% and I plan on making that climb higher. So, I will get all that done when I am feeling focused and on top!

All and all everything is doing ok.

I hope all of you are well! :)

Update: Tell me if this isn’t God looking out. We got a call today saying our new washer and dryer is in and it will be delivered on Wednesday. I just got done washing the next to the last load of laundry in the old washer and BAM the sucker wont spin out. I would certainly be in tears right now especially since I had to take everything out, rinse it, ring it out and put it in the dryer. However, no crying for me because my new washer comes in just 4 days! YAY! Great timing! :D
