Yeah For Tax Returns!!

So most of the week was normal and boring. Sean worked a lot and i stayed home with David. But Thursday night we went to bed with about $5 in our bank account and Friday morning we woke up with $5500 in our bank account! Yeah for tax returns coming on the same day as Sean's paycheck! So we spent the weekend getting stuff done with the money.

We bought a new California King bed. It was 40% off so we could afford to buy it and that comes in about 2 weeks. i had to buy new bedding too, which also is marked down. I like Presidents day weekend sales :).
We paid off our Sears card and now we can put that monthly payment on Seans Student loans then next years tax return will pay off that loan. This is our new idea: With each tax return payoff our lowest balance debt and put the payment to the next lowest balance debt for the next year. So we are hoping that we will be debt free in the next 4 years! That is exciting. Now we just have to work on our savings.
But we also have set aside money to get a financial plan done by the financial planner I worked for during college.
Then we have been putting the money towards fixing our vehicles. Last night Sean and Andrew took off the bed of Sean's Dodge Ram 1500 so they could replace the fuel pump and then put it back on. Crazy boys did a 4 man job by themselves. They were both sore today. So the truck just needs a sensor replaced and the tow packing wiring hooked back up and it will be completely done.
For the Jeep we had a guy that Sean knows come over and dismantle the dash today. The heater core need to be replaced. It took so long that we has to come back tomorrow and put the new core in and put the dash back together.
We are also exciting for our 10 day trip to Vancouver at the end of this month. Time for Sean to relax and me to get some work done for my mom. plus Nana Bev is coming up while we are there and she will get to meet Sean and David for the first time.
And none of this would be possible without our tax returns. So . . . Yeah For Tax Returns!!
