Today was spent getting prepared for the new year. We took time to update our family budget. Long ago we did Dave Ramsey’s “Financial Peace” class and chose to follow the concepts we learned there.
Through the course of Millie’s illness our budget got out of whack. Gas, eating out and babysitting expenses soared. While we have kept everything balanced, we had not updated the changes in over 18 months. We have sold two vehicles, and bought two more. Our grocery budget reduced by two- Josh and Millie . Activities have changed this year. So so many changes! It was time to do some updates.
Once that was out of the way, we went to feed our livestock. We have 15 cows, 2 horses, 3 chickens, 1 llama, and a host of cats. In the winter the larger animals get hay and feed every few days. They still graze between times.
Next we went on a date night ... I always appreciate the time he devotes to our marriage.
It’s good to get away together.
We came home and ended the evening with a game of Apples to Apples with our kids, in addition working on that 2000 piece puzzle from Christmas Day
