Tax Return: Here I come!

There is nothing I love more in the world then spending my hubby's hard earned money... With his input and permission of course!

So that being said, as soon as we found out how much money we were getting back this year we started making plans for it (after we picked our jaws up off of the floor!)

First and foremost we are about to become debtless people! (Aside from money owed to parents... but who counts that since it doesn't show on credit reports?) We are well on our way to fixing our credit so we will be approved for a bigger house when the kids hit puberty. We are very excited to get rid of the rest of our debt... We hope to stay that way... The only thing left now is regular living expenses.

The second thing we planned for was money set aside for a trip out to Indiana to visit Pete's parents. We saw them last spring but haven't seen his sisters and brother since 2004. So gas will cost us big time... better set aside the money while we have it!

Third and lastly... since we felt we were responsible with the first two thirds we decided to splurge with the rest...

Here is what we are getting.. in no particular order...

A stainless steel refrigerator

A stainless steel stove

Dvd player for the van ( Don't have link yet because we haven't decided which one... we wanted to get one that installed on the roof of the van but due to the crazy console we have up there we can't do it! So we may be stuck with the ones that hang on the backs of the front seats)

I am also hoping to convince Pete to let me get some things for my newest hobby... Diaper sewing... It's so much fun!

Like this, or this, or maybe even some of this!

Can't wait for that check to come in!

Um.. probably... I didn't look at Pete's W-2's... But we had to pay last year so that had something to do with it and we had two kids to deduct this year!
