Total Money Makover
As I mentioned before on Facebook we are doing the Total Money Makeover. I am now a Dave Ramsey fan and am reading the book. We really focused last year and paid off all of our debt in August 2011 (before listening to Dave). We are now completely debt free except for our home and we are now working on paying our home off early while building savings and retirement. For those looking to make their money work better for them, READ HIS BOOK! I am even happy to loan it to you if you want (I have it on Kindle and a hard copy).
He is on Talk Radio each night from about 7pm-10pm (105.7fm or 570am) and I love his view on money. It will change your life. It's not rocket science, but he does make it very plain and simple. He calls it as he sees it and will put you in your place when needs be. :)
We didn't have any consumer debt, but were able to pay off both of our cars and a student loan. It feels amazing and a huge weight has been lifted! What I love about his book is that it doesn't matter how much money you make, you can always make a way to be come debt free and live financially/payment free! I am looking forward to the day when we no longer have to make a mortgage payment. WOOHOO!
I hope we can turn as many people as possible on to his plan so they can experience the same joy we have by relieving yourself of the weight of ANY debt. It's amazing and totally worth it. We hope everyone will join us in living a payment free life. :)

This year so far...
It's been a great year so far! We are so blessed.
I continue to work and go to school full-time and Rodd is also working really hard. I am looking at some options for working part-time so I can finish my degree sooner. Again, we are so blessed and have been surprised at the number of options available. We have a lot of decisions to make.
His birthday was on Tuesday, right in the middle of my finals week. My birthday is also in the middle of finals for the fall semester. What's up with that? I had finals on both of our birthdays this year. Since he would be heading out soon to work for a while we did a Birthday Week Marathon and did all kinds of fun stuff all week: movies, dinners, nickel arcade, gifts, games at home, etc. It was quite the weekend and so much fun!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY! :)
I think that Facebook has kind of replaced my blogging as I feel I have already posted most of this stuff there... but I still need to do better.

NYC - Day 3: New Year's Eve
Manhattan NY Temple
Got up relatively early to get to the temple before it closed early for the holiday.
Lunch at Katz Deli
Took the subway there and got there about 2pm. There were 2 huge lines outside headed down each side of the street; one for dine in that was super long and one for take out that was a lot shorter. We opted for take out and actually didn't wait too long. We got a hot dog, pastrami on Rye, and pastrami reuben. Delicious! We ate our sandwiches down the street at Roosevelt park and watched some street basketball. Loved this. Took the bus home to change and rest for the late new year festivities to come!
Went back, super crazy about a block away from the ball. Left about 1130pm to go to hotel to watch countdown and see fireworks near bridge.

NYC - Day 2: Harlem
We planned on getting up early to go to the 9/11 memorial but ended sleeping in until 11am. We finally got out about 1pm to go to Amy Ruth's restaurant in Harlem for some chicken and waffles. Before getting on the subway we stopped at a restaurant called CRISPY and got a falafel burger, yum! Getting off the subway we were feeling a little nervous. People were looking at us like we were crazy to be there. We definitely stuck out. It was interesting to be the minority! The chicken and waffles were yummy! We got cornbread and Rodd was eating it with his hands... people were looking at him like he was an animal and he realized everyone else was eating it with a knife and fork... haha. Lesson learned! :)
All the Dominican restaurants in NYC are all in Harlem so we headed to one about as far north as you can get before crossing over into the Bronx called Harlen Dominican Food. We called first to make sure they were open and got there just as the sun was setting. It was fun to shoot the breeze Dominican style and enjoy some sancocho, la bandera, and tostones con salami. We headed out about 6pm to head back to Manhattan to get to our showing of WICKED on Broadway.
Trying to get back up to the subway, got directions from a local... He could tell we were a little lost and told us where NOT to go! We were very grateful. On our way back to the subway we walked by Rucker Park to watch some basketball and Yankee Stadium and took some pictures.
We had some time before the show so we stopped by Times Square to take a peak. It's just a fun place, we can't wait to come back tomorrow!Wicked was awesome and we both enjoyed it more than we thought we would and are glad we bought the cd before the show. :) GREAT story.
Stopped to get some ice cream and microwave popcorn at the Duane Reade (Walgreens) because everything else was closed. Its just fun to relax and not really have a schedule.
