Updates!!

I have a consult for oral surgery for my daughter at the end of the month. I'm waiting to see how much the wisdom teeth extraction will be. I'm hoping to get this done during my VACATION from work (Nov 4th-Nov 16th), since we are staying home. 

My car is getting an oil change and tire rotation. This was done, paid for in cash!!

The cat has to see the vet. Cancelled until November. 

My oldest has to sign up for spring classes, and that comes with a new round of tuition payments. This was done, new tuition payments to start next week. Total cost for 9 credits, 1250 plus the book fees. 

I recieved some paperwork in the mail for our benefit enrollment for 2014 at my job. Our deductible is going from 1500 to 2500. I pay 167 every two weeks for insurance, and 4 dollars for dental coverage. My insurance is pro rated based on how much you make per hour. It's a tier based program. My costs biweekly will be going to 178 dollars, with dental insurance being 7 dollars for a family.  Still have to enroll, will call today for an appointment. 

I am blessed to be working in a medical field as a registered nurse. I'm counting my blessings that we have a source of income to provide for our needs. I did increase my  403B from 6 percent to 10 percent this week!!!!!!!!! I was having 96 dollars taken out every two weeks. I've increased this to 212.00 every two weeks. I'm excited.

The heat hasn't been on yet. I'm waiting until November. We have some chilly nights, but there's lots of blankets, sweaters, and WARM BODIES to snuggle with. It's chilly and we are working on NOT USING THE HEAT. 

I continue to over pay the Wells Fargo a account with 250-300 every two weeks. I'm hoping to continue to do this. It's nice to watch that statement coming in the mail and see the progress. 

I continue to place money into my savings account. I placed 300 dollars in it last week. 

I have a full emergency fund at 1,000. I have about 1,400 in my savings account extra for living expenses (goal 6 months of expenses).
