Done with Christmas shopping, free!

Dh came home the other day with 2 awards for some pattons he came up with from work. He was awarded $750! So today we went online and did all of our Christmas shopping! We had enough left over to buy a bagger/ mulcher for our riding mower so no raking!!

Our budget is very happy! I had budgeted money for Christmas for the next two months, now that money can go towards a small debt (unexpected carpet replacement from a leak). We couldn't use the award for bills because it was Visa gift cards. This is even better! Now we have our shopping done so we can focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

So happy!

Hee hee! I love how my iPhone changes what I am trying to say! Just now it wanted me to say her her instead of hee! Anyway of course I meant patent although if he had come up with some way to bring back the general that would be even more impressive!

What a great feeling it must be to have all your shopping done early!!!

And it's also nice to be able to get something a little extra like your bagger!!!
