Ok so this weekend Cody and I went on a little trip alone! Even though I missed the boys so much, it was nice to get away. So my Dad found this book on tape, well CD for Cody and I to listen to on our trip. It the Automatic Millionare by David Bach, I thought it was going to be so lame. I learned a lot from listening, basically in order to finish rich its NOT about being on a budget! Its about the small things, like the latte factor! Its pretty much about saving money instead of spending it on all these little things in life. Like Starbucks, energy drinks, and eating out. Its the $5 dollars here and $5 dollars there that really start to add up. I decided I really need to work on my spending habbits, I'm a big spender because I stay home with the boys and feel like "I'm bored lets go shopping!" He also talks about making this process automatic, have your paycheck automatically set up to take money and put it in the savings acct. ect. I know this is just a little Paragraph on his Chapters of GREAT advice. I just wanted to say that I have given it some really good thought. I'm so ready to make some changes!
Ok so this is what our back seat looks like with out, carseats, toys, crumbs, and sippy cups! lol
This was in the hotel we stayed in on the way up to the cabin! lol just in case you want to have a beer while you are going potty! lol
This is on our way, thinking about stuff and listening to David Bach!!
On another note I thought about pictures, baby books, and videos a ton this weekend. I realized that instead of spending so much time watching tv, reading blogs :), and shopping. I want to spend more time working on my memories of this wonderful life I'm living. I look back and I have all these memories in my head, and a house full of meanless crap I bought! Who cares what my house looks like, I was so worried about what other people thought that I was spending all this money and time making it look good! I decided this weekend I'm going to focus more on the things that I can look back and smile that I made the right decision! That is photo albums, scrapbooks, videos of the boys, baby books! I also want to start blogging so not only I can look back, but some the boys can look back at what our life was all about! I dont care how many people read this or if anyone reads it. I just want to start writing so I will never forget how thankful I am for the life I have! So this is my pledge to start today!!!!! I'm sorry if this doesnt not make any sense lol but it does to me!
There will be more pics of our trip later but my camera died and I had to buy a disposeable!!! I'm sure you are wondering where Cody and I went. Well Cody was a baseball coach this summer and a kid on the team parents invited us to go up the their cabin in Westcliffe CO. We had never hung out with them, but they left their kids at home and we left ours. It was a little crazy knowing we were going to hang out with people that were the same age as my parents! Mike and Katie made us feel right home and it was like we were a part of their family! We had a blast on the jetski's all weekend! We made new friends for life, they even showed us were the key is so we can go up to the cabin anytime!
