So this past weekend, I was privileged to go with Kelsey (my sister-in-law) shopping at Rhea Lana's. Since I am already thinking about how my children are going to look like... I guess this was the perfect place for me to check out! It's a consignment store for babies - on steroids. I was amazed at all the baby clothes that were there! I had NO idea that a baby has THIS MUCH to choose from!!
Here are some of my spy shots... a little creepy but it was an experience. I can't wait til I can do this... :)

 |
| This is baby heaven! |
Crazyness. If I were a baby, I would wear that green dress! I love it!
 |
| Little girl on a leash: I'm definately going to take that idea! |
 |
| That baby is being left unattended! That lady is NOT her mother... just someone walking by! |
 |
| Look at the line waiting for the cashier! |
 |
| Look at the line waiting to get in! |
 |
| The line OUTSIDE the building, waiting to get in!!! So CRAZY! |

So since I don't have kids, I found an outfit for me at Rhea Lana's! Shirt was $3 and those are Abercrombie shorts, $5. Good deal! |
Today, I made my last payment on my credit card! I started out with a whopping balance of $3000 in 2007. I just paid the minimum payment for 2 years on the card. I only got it down to about $2300 after 2 years of paying $70 monthly. WOW. When I told Justin of this last year, we were engaged at the time, he told me to PAY IT OFF. He really was a big help encouraging me to get out of debt and stop paying the minimum. So I started paying at least $150 every month, and that's on top of everything else. The last couple months I was paying $200-$300 a month. And now, it's all gone. I had to sacrifice new clothes, shoes, makeup, eating out, and a whole bunch of unnecessary things to get this over with. I like the motto, WORK NOW, PLAY LATER. It just says it all. If I am responsible now, I can enjoy the freedom of my finances later and I don't have to regret, look back and wonder, "If only I did this.....". I thank God for allowing me to learn and apply what I learned to my life. He has given me the grace to practice self-control and loving my future self more than my present self.
