To.. summer weather

What a beautiful day today! I love it. Unfortunately Im sick and stuck inside at work but on my lunch break I got to sit outside and enjoy it for a minute.

Ive been getting discouraged lately about bills and money since we only have one income right now in our household. Ive been working really hard to try and get expenses lowered. Today some issues finally got resolved. I got our cell phone bill lowered by $15 and our cable/internet billed lowered by $76! That makes me feel so much better. Its supposed to cool down by the end of the week so if we can avoid turning on the ac that will save money too. Our house stays pretty cool downstairs, its upstairs when we are sleeping that is the problem. Maybe we can just turn it on at night... Fortunately we have low income housing (in a way) so our AC is not that expensive, our bill is normally $30 a month so when we turn it on, it only increases by about $30 or $40 more.

Im so happy that my boss gave me and Daniel health insurance starting in May. That has really helped! I have to pay for $60 or $120 (not sure yet) a month but we were paying $400 something for my health and Dans health and dental insurance. Daniel has been taking care of his teeth a lot better (as in flossing daily now lol), its awesome because we dont have to have dental insurance for him anymore. So I was able to cancel that...thats saving another $50/month. Im on a roll today. We paid our care credit off last month, the final $200. We opened that card for Dans wisdom teeth and we were able to pay it off in 9 months. I had faith that God would provide and bless us financially and he is definitely doing so. We have saved well over $400 since last month. Praise God. :)

Our weekend was pretty crazy, thats probably why Im sick now. I really havent slept since Vegas, its terrible. On Thursday night I went out with Journey, her rapper bf (always makes me laugh lol :) and Scott. It was pretty mellow. We played pool and darts at Guidos and then walked to Soma for a minute. Journey and her bf went home and me and Scott went to the new bar that opened up where Barfly was. It was okay, they make their own beer (not yet but they will) and I dont really like beer. I did drink one that was an apricot flavor, it was okay. On Friday night we went to Dans old job's party - Ragle's 30th anniversary at the iHotel. It was pretty amazing. They had a food buffet set up with apps, really good ones! Open bar and a band for dancing. I couldnt get Daniel off the dance floor. Im so happy I have a husband who likes to have a good time! :) We probably danced for a couple hours. We went to Tora's house after that.. me and Dan just hung out with them while they all did shots of this crazy scorpion tequila stuff and we drank water lol.. then we went home around 1 or 2am.

I knew I was getting sick when I didnt wake up on Saturday morning for church. I slept in until almost 11. Thats really unlike me. Usually on the weekend I cant sleep in if I try! Its impossible. I felt pretty bad that day, Dan and I laid outside and read my book. On Saturday night all the girls met at Michelles house for a get together. It was fun, pizza, ice cream, movie and girl talk. When I woke up on Sunday, I felt terrible. I went to St. Joe to pick up Leia, my mom watched her since I had plans all weekend, and we layed out for a while. I kept getting progressively worse. She made me breakfast, then lunch lol then I went home and fell asleep for hours. Dan made me dinner - ramen with hard boiled eggs and we made homemade potato chips with our mandoline. It was a nice night. The MTV movie awards were on and there was no point to watch them unless you are obsessed with Twilight lol. Im debating on whether or not I want to see that movie or not.. Im not a fan of vampires and feel weird about them so I dunno. Apparently the books are amazing and so is the movie.. hmm maybe.
