I have since decided to start writing in a blog again. Not for anyone else's purpose but for my own agenda, to better be able to get some words out of my head.

This blog is going to serve more than one purpose - to put my thoughts out, to document my life, and the life of my now 4 year old daughter. I need to give her something to look back on and say "gee, my life was good." Through writing this blog I want to keep track on my reading (I am glad I finally came back to this), my growing daughter, my everyday life, and the possibility of saving to soon have a home (not a townhouse).

I have just found Goodreads and have since been using that to find new books to read.
Currently I am reading two books (yeh that doesn't sound right), but I have been reading Gabby the story of Gabrielle Giffords. It is very interesting but if I feel that I'm getting bored I have cut over to Bared to You by Sylvia Day. I am thoroughly interested in Gabby so I'll probably end up sticking with that.

I am currently half-way through my first term of my Bachelor's degree and that's just crazy to me! 
Brooklynn has just gotten over being sick and we are all well in this house now!

My brother's wedding is in less than a month, and Brooklynn is so excited to be walking down the aisle as a flower girl.
That's about all the updates right now - so I leave you with this.

Organization

I have always wanted to own my own home. Its something I really wanted to do, and I know that my debt is horrible, my credit score is so below the norm right now. I contacted a mortgage broker and we discussed ways for me to get the score up and once that happens we are gonna start working to getting a home.
So since that is my plan I am going to restart this blog in my hope to own a home and rebuild my credit.
I have a few things that I have decided to start doing.
First the $5 savings plan that I found here.
I have not put my money into the bank at all, so I found this and will put my $5 in an envelope, and the rest of my money for bills in another. After that I will put what I make over the amount per day and will put that in another envelope to use toward paying off my debt. Lets see how we work out over the month.
Here's to hoping and dreaming of a house to call my own!
