Blah...

Not much new or exciting to write about this week. I have had a head cold for most of the last week, and it wouldn't be too bad except I can't take any decongestant until I am 12 weeks (which is technically tomorrow - YAY!). So we have all been taking it easy (ie. not doing much laundry, etc).

One fun thing we are doing as a family this summer is reading lots of books. The older girls will sit for hours and read. We recently read Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief together as a family. It was very entertaining. Yesterday the movie of it came out on DVD so we ate some Greek food and had a movie night. I love summertime when we can stay up late and enjoy time together without the stress of school work and early mornings. The heat is another issue....

Oh, one major milestone we just passed: we are out of credit card debt! YAHOO! We have been working on this goal for a little over a year doing Dave Ramsey's debt snowball. It is sad to admit that we were in so much debt, and unfortunately, we still have student loans to pay off, but we are progressing and doing better. It feels so good to have that weight off our backs. (Now if I could get the weight off my mid-section.... ha!)

Speaking of weight, here is the only share-worthy picture of the week.

Look at the size of this chimichanga! This delicious piece of food-art was purchased at a little fast food place called El Metate for a whopping $4.50. Thankfully, Richard helped eat it. :)

Have a great week!
