FINALLY

So in the (almost) 7 years that Nate and have been married we have NEVER gotten a tax return we have always owed state and broke even with Federal. Well the day has come and I couldn't be more excited about it. We finally got a tax return. Now we could have payed debts or put it away in savings but NO WAY we wanted to celebrate and have fun LOL SO we booked a trip to Cancun ( a much needed vacation) and bought a van YES you heard right we are a 2 car family again!! It has been almost 2 years since we have had 2 cars we have been sharing a car and it was not fun. When Nate would be at work I was stranded at home and if I had somewhere to be he would be stuck at home and when we both needed to be somewhere we had to ask for rides and that is never fun! I am so excited and can't explain the freedom I feel now that I know I can leave when ever I need to and I no longer to make sure our schedules are perfectly unison. Why a van you ask well as you all now I do Day care in my home during the day so now if I need to take Sky to school or if I just simply run out of milk I can actually go get some and next year Abbie and Levi (day Care kid) are going to preschool and I am going to be the one to take them so we thought the best car for us would be a van and to be honest I missed our old van I love the space!!!
So about Cancun.... Nate and I have wanted to go on a vacation alone for EVER and we finally saw a opportunity and took it! We are so excited to get some MUCH needed alone time and we got a killer deal on it. We are going at the end of April for our anniversary and we are staying at a all inclusive resort which will be nice not to worry about where we are going to eat every day. :) I think I am more excited for Nate to experience it more than I am my self. I had the opportunity to go to Mexico when I was prego with Abbie and I traveled often when I was younger so I have been out of the country a few times and the furthest he has been is Texas to visit is brother. Now we both have totally different ideas for this vacation I want to lounge around the pool and beach and just relax and he wants to take a bunch of different tours. SO I have decided this is HIS trip since I have done it all before I want him to have the best experience he can! ( I really think once we get there and do one day of touring around he will want to relax by the pool) :) So needless to say we are soooo excited and grateful for this chance to go, we are grateful for my awesome sisters who are taking our kids we know they will be in safe hands Thanks guys!
I can't think of a better way to spend our tax returns!!! LOL :)
