Summer Fun

This summer I decided to teach summer school. It's not how I want to be spending my highly anticipated time off, but it boosts our income and helps our debt-free plan. We found out that opening one envelope is fun...but opening two envelopes in 4 days is even more fun!! Speaking of fun...we do have it! We just plan for our fun in advance rather than pay for it afterwards. This makes the fun stuff guilt-free and regret-free. BONUS!!

Here's some of the fun we've been having.

The Color Run KC-
We found out about this crazy 5k run that throws a colored powder on you every kilometer. Chris and I ran with our best friends Ryland and Lauren and plan on doing this 5k next year too!

July 4th-
Chris and I were both off on the same day and this rarely happens. So we planned a fun day as a family. It was over 100 degrees outside so we had to be creative. We spent the morning at an indoor toddler playground called Little Monkey Business and Ethan played so hard! We ate lunch at one of our favs...Culvers and then went to a afternoon movie. Ethan has never been to the theater and we weren't sure how he would do. We watched Brave and he watched it for about an hour and then...not so much! After that we spent the evening with some 100+ people from church for dinner and fireworks. Great day off!

Say "french fries!"

Our next planned fun: we're going to Branson, MO to visit Silver Dollar City and during that trip we will get to spend some time with my parents too.

YTD Debt Pay-off: $7,238.53 FUN!!
Total Debt Pay-off: $31,238.53 (over halfway to the finish line!!)
