Debt Update:

In case you missed it, WERE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!! ... he did it. My man not only found temporary work despite all of the challenges... but he saved up all the money to pay back his parents... every dime. Sure it meant we didn't go out often and we stayed home and cooked from scratch but he did it all on his own and i'm proud of him. 

Grocery Shopping Update:

We will be having friends staying at the condo this week in preparation for the wedding... and we are BBQ'in for 16 people... so this week will be very different from normal A lot of our meals are coming out of the freezer this week so we can empty it and fill it with party type food. We are giving ourselves an additional $150 this month to be able to make sure we have ample food in the house since the condo will be ground zero for all wedding adventures and prep work...
