Life is good.

I am pleased to report that life is pretty fantastic once you get through what you're going through. Financial freedom seems to help a little bit too. I got my income tax back and paid off my debt to my mom and sister for my car, paid off all 3 of my credit cards, and paid for my summer vacation in full! I'm going on a cruise to Mexico and I'm so excited. My goal is to go on a vacation at least once a year. I figure it's the "grown up" thing to do :) Things are really looking a bit more colorful these days. Carter's 1st birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I'm getting his portraits done tomorrow. His party supplies I ordered should be here tomorrow too. I got it all planned out! While shopping for his perfect outfits for the pictures, I applied for a credit line in order to get a discount and expected to get denied. I am now the proud owner of a Children's Place credit card, lol. Oops! Who would have thought I would get approved!? I figure now is the time to do things the right way with credit cards after taking 5 years to pay off my others. Anyways, it really feels good to be able to take care of my kids and do the things other parents can afford to do. I'm really proud of myself. I feel like such a huge weight has been taken off of my shoulders and I want to keep it that way. I'd like to think that I am officially back on my feet!
