I'm still here

School lunches at work started this week, so I've been really busy. Did 11 hour shift yesterday going in at 7 am and had non stop pizza making til 1. It reminded me just how rough thursdays are going to be all year. At least it's only every other week.

We haven't heard anything else about our money. My wife and I did sit down and talk about what we are going to do with it though. The way we figured it out is that we can put a down payment on a new vehicle (used), get our vehicle now repaired a bit and up to snuff, so that hopefully it will last a little longer. We decided we aren't going to fix the transmission. We are paying back everything we owe to family. We are going to get new clothes, since neither of us has in over a year almost two years. I'm getting new glasses, since it's been about 4 years for that. We are taking about 500$ a piece to blow on what we want. Then the rest, about 3000$ we are saving. We are very excited. We've never been able to save before and with extra income each month and a 3000$ head start, we will be in great shape. Obviously, with the new car and other things our monthly bills will go up a little bit, but we should still be bringing home an extra 500$ on top of what we are now.

If only the check will come!

Football starts this weekend and I'm stoked! my brothers and i got together last night at the house to watch the steelers/titans play. I'm off this sunday and hope to be able to be off most sundays so I can enjoy the season.
