June was packed with a stomach bug, fevers, croup, strep, paying $600 for a car to pass safety inspection, and buying a $500 washer (which broke during the stomach bug).
July must be better. It must. There is no where to go but up. Unfortunately we learned yesterday that our furnace and central air system was not the best choice for our home and needs a variable speed motor to help our house cool properly and make it so our pipes don't ice up again. $1000. Before this emergency we were going to be done paying off student loans in September. Now I'm not so sure.
But on the up side, we have $1000 in cash to hand over for the fix. And it will be fixed tomorrow morning. Then we need to hurry and save that tiny emergency fund back up for the next emergency. But maybe it could wait a couple of months. Please.
In all honesty, we have done some fun things this summer.
- Family reunion
- Family camp-out (at Grandma's house--so the cooking and facilities were exceptional!)
- Million Dollar Quartet Broadway Show (thanks Dad and Mom)
- Picnics, Sevens Peak outings, Friends
- And we haven't missed Family Home Evening in a good while!
- A great husband and 4 cute kiddies
