Spending updates again...

This should be the end of our spending for the month... hopefully. I get my extra paycheck tomorrow and that will help balance everything out and hopefully set our emergency fund right. We should be all back to normal next month which will be a nice relief.(and hopefully more normal blog posts now that we are all caught up.)

• David's Bridal: We decided to bite the bullet and take care of getting my wedding dress cleaned immediately. The cheapest route was actually the most convenient. After asking around and making a few phone calls, we found out through a friend that it would be cheaper to have it cleaned and preserved through David's Bridal since we bought my dress from there in the first place... They knocked off $60 from the regular price making it $139.00 out the door. I should have my dress back in a few weeks cleaned (including stains and all).
