Money

well today we went and ordered our new front load washer/dryer and tv for the rec room. after adding in the service plans, sound system, wall mount and delivery (which we did get all of it for a decent price) we managed to spend a good portion of our wedding money. the last time i spent that much in one place was when we bought our house and paid the down payment...
so they're getting delivered this wednesday. we arent ready to use any of them, but they were all on sale so we wanted to take advantage while we could. we're still working on our furnace/laundry/storage room. so far, everything is ripped out, windows are ordered (that's another part of the money topic) and is ready to be framed, insulated and drywalled. then we can put everything in that room and fix up the electrical in the rec room and paint the walls and set up the tv.
back to the money topic. so on top of spending all that money for our new appliances and tv, we also spent $400 on two windows. tally for today: $4050. the unfortunate result of our spending spree today, less money to finish those two rooms. so maybe i dont get the upper cabinets i wanted above the washer and dryer. maybe i dont get the wash tub i wanted so it was easier to wash HayHay and paint brushes. it'll all work out, we just have to be smart with the leftover money and try not to make any mistakes that cost us money....

onto the second part of this post.
today i realized that our debt isnt getting paid down quite as fast i would like it to be with us planning on starting a family in the near future (and me currently going off the pill). it just got me a little worried that maybe we shouldnt be making this step quite yet. i mean, if we run out of money while im on mat leave, i can just go back to work early. as much i would rather stay at home with my baby for that full year since you never get that time back, i would do it for my family if we needed the money. it just made me a little sad. but my husband did promise that we get it under control so it was down to a certain amount before a baby would be born. it just makes me worry is all.
