A Better Deal Than We Thought!

We went and picked up the "new" riding lawnmower today. And the bagger. Because the guy didn't know if the bagger would actually work with the mower, he just gave it to us instead of having us give him the previously agreed on $25 for said bagger. So $100 for a riding mower and bagger worked out to be a pretty good deal.

The past couple of Sundays have been busy for us. We had the Earl White reunion 2 weeks ago, and last week, nephew Conner was back. This Sunday we're back to normal. Normal being church in the morning and Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University in the evening.

For those not familiar with Dave Ramsey, he has a talk radio show, several best selling books, and developed a 13 week class on finances called Financial Peace University. We are leading FPU at the church we're attending, with 21 families taking the class, including us. The class teaches you how to develop a budget, get out of debt, save $$, invest, save for your kids' college. Its a great class for anyone to take, even if you have no debt. I've had people in my class say, "if we only knew about this 20 years ago...." which should be a hint to the younger crowd to take FPU. We are on week 11 out of 13 weeks, after taking a 2 week break. We're on track to have about 75% of our class graduate with perfect attendance, and about 80% total. You can check out Dave and Financial Peace University at www.daveramsey.com.

The boys start VBS at a church in town tomorrow. 9 am to 3 pm. Lots of time to get lots of stuff done this week!

  1. Whoa... your boys have VBS from 9-3!?!
    That gives you some nice 'Teri-time'.
    Which you deserve, by the way.
