In other news, the family of the boy I nanny for was all home sick and they wanted me to keep him out of the house because he wasn't sick. We spent all day out at the Schlitterbahn Vacation Village, a partially complete waterpark out at the Legends shopping center. I used this as an opportunity to test out the waterproof feature of my new camera while it is still under warranty. We had a blast on the waterslides and on the raging river and got out of it without sunburns!
Jack and I in the Raging River, people kept giving me funny looks for having my camera in the water.
Yea, yea, gross looking feet - but the camera was fully submerged, cool!
We also had lunch at the T-Rex restaurant - Jack had dino chicken nuggets and I had a T-Rexadilla, yum!
Finally, Eric and I worked on our budget today and figured that we will be able to pay for our fall semester classes AND finish paying off my credit card with one monster payment. We've paid off $1250 in the past 6 months, and with the money from my summer job we'll have enough to pay off the remaining $3000. We know it seems crazy to "blow" that much money on getting rid of debt when we could continue making payments on it. But we're sick of being normal! This will finally start our "debt snowball" and we'll put my credit card's minimum payment onto Eric's credit card payment, and pay it off twice as fast. Then we'll tack those payments onto my car and then Eric's car. We're in the range of having no credit card debt by our one year anniversary, and owning both of our cars outright in 2012 - how's that for crazy?
This is our debt thermometer for my credit card. Starting in February we marked the total balance plus a chunk of interest and each month we color in the amount we paid to show our progress. We're only a third of the way done, but it will be full in a month!
P.S. Addy looooooves catnip!
