3 in 30

Well we are 10 days into the month, and I feel like I have been very productive!  However, I haven't really been productive with my goals.  I keep finding other things to distract me. These are the goals that I set for the month. 
3in30 Challenge

  1. Change banks and start using YNAB.
  2. Continue on my cookbook project.
  3. Choose a college, degree, and get started on that process.
I have made great progress with my first goal, but I really have to get to work on my other two.  As for my first goal, I have got everything switched to my new bank except a few dollars that I have left in my checking account.  YNAB is working great so far.  It is even better than I remember from when we used it a few years back. Now, I just have to be disciplined enough to use it! 

As for my other two goals, I haven't made any progress.  :( 

But no worries!  It is just the 10th!  I will get them done!  Hope everyone else is making great progress!

Well, it's definitely not Panama City Beach, but I guess it is okay!  Tim even managed to get a man cave!  So glad to be all settled in!!!

I am back!!!

Wow, it feels like it has been forever since I have blogged, but I have been so busy.  However, I am back now! Just to catch everyone up to speed here is whats been happening:

  • My wonderful husband came home from Afghanistan.
  • The Wilson's came to Florida to visit.
  • The Warren's came to Florida to visit.
  • The Evan's came to Florida to visit.
  • We prepared/packed everything.
  • We moved to Kentucky.
  • We unpacked everything.
So all of those combined with me being lazy and trying to make the most of all my time in Florida has led to my absence in the blog world!  :)

Tim returns to work on Monday, so things should get back to normal.  I wish we didn't have to work so we could just continue hanging out all day everyday!  But neither of us have any rich uncles, so I am sure we are going to have to continue to work. 

I am a few days late, but I am going to try to get in some 3 in 30 goals for this month!  But I am going to try to keep it simple because it is summer, and I want to make the most of it.  So here are my goals:



  1. Change banks and start using YNAB.
  2. Continue on my cookbook project. 
  3. Choose a college, degree, and get started on that process.
So these aren't too major.  The first one is a goal out of necessity.  I don't like the bank I am with now at all.  So I am changing.  It is just a lot of work to get all your information changed over.  Also, there is a great program called YNAB (You Need A Budget) that I want to start using again.  I am pretty tight with money, but I think this program is going to help my husband be tight with money too!  :)  Just kidding Honey.  It is just a great program that helps you realize how much money you actually spend on the useless stuff.  It kind of take the envelope method and turns it digital!  I am excited to get it started!

A couple months ago one of my 3 in 30 goals was to make a cookbook for my grandma.  I did not get that accomplished, but I did realize how big of a task it was going to be.  So this month I just want to continue working on it.  Since her birthday, anniversary, and mother's day has already passed, this is probably going to be a Christmas gift, so I have plenty of time.  I would like to get at least 20 recipes added and 10 pictures!  So we will see how that will go. 

My final goal is way out there, but I guess it is the right time.  I need to get a Masters Degree!  I don't have a clue what I am going to do it in, but now is the time.  I have my husbands GI Bill, and I am home all the time.  So I am going to try to find an online program that I think I can do!  I would like to start school by July, so I need to make some decisions now! 

Okay, I know this is way too long, but I had so much to say!!! Goodnight everyone!
