It’s been almost four months since we have blogged last.
Super sorry; blogging just got away from us. Aside from being busy with summer
activities, the summer was actually demotivating for us. I originally thought
that it would be easier to save and put more money toward our debt in the
summer. I figured that we would be able to do fun, free activities outside.
Buuuuuuut it turned out that the things we wanted to do took money because we
wanted to be out and about more—going to the lake, happy hours on patios, etc. We didn’t totally get derailed, but we did loose motivation a little
bit.
On the upside, though, we did manage to make extra payments
toward our loans. With the payments we made and with a very generous gift of a
family member, we were able to pay down roughly 20% of our original outstanding
amount. We are planning an anniversary trip to Duluth, MN, in October, and we
plan on rededicating the intensity after that.
Here are some other updates in our super exciting lives:
-I (Shaina) got a new job! I still work in publishing, but
it was just time to move onward and upward. Plus, I’m making more moolah.
-Nate passed his second CPA exam! He will start studying for
his third exam very soon. If he passes his third and fourth on schedule, he
will be done in February.
-My sister-in-law had a baby in August! Her name is Avrie
and she is just so adorable. I’m happy
to love on another baby before Nate and I have our own.
More posts to come soon!
Lastly, here are some pictures of the pup. Just because.
