I am looking at the Atlantic and getting ready to take kids and my niece and nephew over to play in the sand!

Filed our taxes!!!
The printer is whirring right now as I type because Mike just finished efiling our taxes and is printing out about 1000 pages of stuff. All I know is we are getting some money back – yeah! Only time of year that I love the IRS. But since Joe Sangl was here this weekend teaching us how to get our finances straightened out we are planning to plan. I added Joe’s blog to my blog roll because he has some awesome tools on there for getting a handle on your money. Gotta go get ready for some sleep. Big day ahead. We are headed to Charleston to visit my sister and her family so lots of packing and cleaning to do tomorrow. Can’t wait for some South Carolina sunshine and the feeling of sand between my toes! And we have all that tax money to spend – just kidding!
Financial Freedom is on it’s way to the Morris house
Joe Sangl came to Galax this weekend and brought his Financial Freedom Experience with him. We had the assignment of making a monthly budget last night as homework. I won’t say it was fun – but not as bad as I had expected. Following it may be a little harder. Joe did a great job of giving practical, biblical reasons to make your money behave. If you ever have the chance to go hear Joe – you should go. He is passionate about seeing people freed from financial prison. I am actually excited about getting some discipline into our finances. It has been about 9 months since Mike started full time ministry and left his engineering job and we have had some financial changes that we really haven’t spent time evaluating. This crusade, as Joe called it, came at just the right time. Another thing I am excited about is teaching these principles to our kids. We are planning to order Financial Peace Jr. from Dave Ramsy to get us started on helping our kids be good stewards of their money. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Hold on to your britches!
My middle child Luke is a skinny guy. I have always had trouble finding pants that didn’t fall off of his waist. Saw this over on Goody Blog. I can remember searching all over the mall one Easter, when Luke was 3, looking for a belt to fit him. End of search – here are some belts that will hold the pants on those skinny bodies. And, they are easy for potty training – velcro.
7 Random Things about me
Holly did this over on her blog and thought it looked fun. If you blog – do the same – it’s fun reading about each other. I think I might do one for everyone if my family.
