So... the year of SUPER SAVING!
wow... like Dave Ramsey has said... as soon as we decide to make drastic and good financial decisions... guess who comes knocking!  MUR...PHY!!!!!!!!!!!!
And wow was that ever true for us!

This month...
Van Repairs: $1,089.35 and $650.61
Bathroom Tub Repairs: $115.26
Prescriptions: Lisa and Alexis: $241.50
TOTAL: $2,096.72
None of these 3 things were part of our budget...
but we had the money! -

2 major repairs on our family van...

If you were to enter our home after December 31st, you would see lots of fridge magnets that look like this...

well...another year behind a new one ahead...

here are some notes from my daily devotional STREAMS IN THE DESERT (it's old so forgive the old style vocab.)

January 1
- today we stand on the verge of the unknown.  Before us lies a new year and we are going forward to possess it.
   - who can tell what we shall find?
   - new experiences
   - what changes shall come
   - what new needs will arise.

but here is the message from our Heavenly Father!...
