Party On

Y'all, after 5 years and 2 months we finally did it! We're debt free! To celebrate I wanted to recap the journey for us.  Five years ago at Christmas we were gifted one of Dave Ramsey's debt free books. I don't even recall which one, but I do recall feeling compelled to get out of debt. At the time Josh and I had been married for 7 months. I brought in 60k in debt to our marriage: 40k in graduate school student loans, 20k in a new car. He brought in debt too- some student loans and car loans. It wasn't stressful to pay our bills, but seeing how much I paid in interest was frustrating.  We were off on a pretty good start.

Anias is 17 months old! He's wild and crazy and fits right in. We just got home from Wyoming Monday night after a little 2 week jaunt of just us two. I'm still super unprepared for life.
