Basketball is done for 3 weeks! It'll be a great break from driving to practices and games.

Last night we were given some great tickets to the Las Vegas Legends soccer game.  We took the 3 oldest.  It was great.  It wasn't crowded at all. And our seats were in the VIP area where they had free popcorn.  The kids were in heaven.  And there was a lounge area behind the seats.  So when they got tired of watching the game they went and played in the empty lounge.  It was a great night.

We went to see the lights at the speedway.  Ruby loved it.  Sadly, Seth fell asleep before we got there.  I'm sure he'll love it next year.

Bob and I looked at our budget and made our financial goals for the coming year and things are looking much better than we thought.  We are so blessed.  We've been able to do a lot of the things we've been wanting to in the last few months.  Next month we're going to get a new bed I've been wanting so we can give ours to Danny so his room can also be the guest room and we can shift beds in everyone's rooms so that Ruby will get a big bed.  We also are hoping to put in some more cement in the backyard so the kids can play basketball.  And we made plans for how to save for a new car for Bob when his dies and for a trip to Virginia to visit Bob's grandparents.  We need to be very good with following our budget to make it all happen, but it's very exciting to be able to use our resources efficiently and be blessed for it.
