Were Back!! Monthly Spending

I took a week or so off from the blog to allow for birthday frivolities and to relax. If you noticed, I didn't itemize out our spending at all this month. I wanted to keep SCB's secret birthday things on the hush hush so now I get to unwind the damage for everyone here.

Just before you see it all, we cash flowed everything, still put money into the Roth, and tossed some to the emergency fund...  I was also paid back some of the birthday shopping we did as my mom had me order items for her to give SCB.... But we ate out A LOT... I didn't realize how bad it was with me ignoring the budget for the whole month.... WOW. I should never wait until the end of the month to evaluate our spending. Its really lucky we were able to cash flow everything after all!
