Catch Up
I hate Uncle Sam with a passion. How the hell are you going to sit here and tell me that I owe you $10K and really expect me to pay you back in a timely fashion? That is more money then I owe my credit cards… my mouth dropped when the tax man told us collectively how much we would have to fork over… but there is a light at the end or the tunnel. Turns out that we don’t owe the state, so we are going to get a small refund from the state and then we are going to split that in half. It’s not going to be much but its going to be something that’s for sure. At lunch I am going to take the forms to the PO and then let it go. There is nothing else that we would be able to do about that. We have been thinking that at the end of the summer that we were going to leave the Circle. As much as it would pain us to do so, we have to have means of saving some money and then paying off all the bills that we have. I know that I am determined to do it, and he is too, but there are times when he falls into his moments when he can’t take things anymore. I get frustrated too, but I guess I have an easier time of keeping things into perspective. MIL said that we can always stay with her while we get things together. And to be honest, that was something that his father suggested before he died, that we should stay in that big house, save money and then buy our own house. Its going to be weird though because I have not lived with a mother figure since 1998 and then almost 10 years later for me to be in a home with a mother... but you know something, I don’t even think that its going to be that bad because we would be in the basement portion of the house that has its own entry and amenities so we really would not have to worry about the privacy issue… its all thoughts still at this moment..
But on a happier note, I got the job with Crate and Barrel so that means that there will be a little bit more income coming into the house... first thing that I will do though is save... that is one thing that I am adamant about… I have an account that JB does not even know about that I have been putting money in for the past month. I think that every woman needs a secret stash. We have an account together that we both have access to so this one is all me. I don’t have it for anything in particular, I think that its there for a rainy day. Who knows, maybe 5 years down the line I may want a new truck or something and by then I may have enough to pay for it in CASH right then and there…. Or maybe I want to do something to the house… the possibilities are endless. But at this point, I just want it to sit in the account and look pretty
We have officially planned our 1st anniversary trip. We are going to spend 5 days 4 nights at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in San Juan Puerto Rico. It’s something that we had been thinking about for a while and we were not sure if we were to do it, but we have 4 months to plan and save for spending money and we have been doing fairly well despite all the bills that have recently come into our lives. We have a plan, and we hope that there is nothing that will come in the way of that plan (even though we know that there are things that are beyond our control). We are leaving on the 18th which is also the day that I will be finished with my MBA and then the next day is our anniversary. I can’t wait… this will be the first time that I will go to an island... and this is his first time as well. We would like to travel someplace at least once a year... someplace tropical... this year, PR, next year, Hawaii... and then after that.. Who knows...? I promised him that for out 5th year anniversary that we would go to London... that is somewhere that he really wants to go... we would have to plan at least a year in advance, but we will cross that bridge when it gets here.
We are also getting rid of his cousin. I think that it’s about time that he left the house. He has been there since November and its time for him to spread his wings and leaves us alone. We never really got a chance to get our lives together and become acclimated to the fact that we are hus and wife. But come the 1st of the month, he will be out of the house and out of our hair. Once he is out, JB will move his stuff into the spare room and I will have the closet to myself again happy days are on the horizon... I just need to be patient.
