Keeping up with New Years Resolutions

So much for keeping my New Years resolutions, as my dear friend Cori reminded me, I'm already behind on posting.

One of our goals for this year was to keep a more accurate budget. We have tried excel sheets, programs on my blackberry, but now we feel like we've got the perfect program. Believe it or not, it was free! Go to mint.com and sign up for their free and secure budget program. It downloads all your checking and credit accounts so that you can easily allocate expenses. We sit down Monday nights and assign all our expenses to their categories and then we're done, it's awesome. It is incredibly easy to use and my favorite thing is that it shows how much you made in the month vs how much you spent. Whatever we've saved for the month we put in our savings and never touch again.

Saturday we had our new couches delivered. We've been married for almost 4 years and the only furniture we own is our bed, some bookcases, a tv stand, and now couches. After spending most of Saturday reorganizing the front room we finally feel like this apartment is becoming home.

This baby girl is growing, growing, and growing. Not only can we feel her moving but we can see my belly moving with her. It's exciting to experience pregnancy for the first time but I'm pretty excited to be done and have her in our arms. In the meantime we'll enjoy sleeping straight through the night! I found this really cute DIY kitchen online. She made it out of a nightstand. Oh, the things to look forward too.
