It's been way too long...

...and a crazy couple of weeks full of many ups and downs. Maybe mostly downs, depending how you look at it. Or maybe I was just way too emotional this month. But I'm going to consider December a fresh start. 

Travis and I finally sat down and crunched out the numbers, and I have my new financial plans set up...I'm hoping to put a minimum of $400 towards the wedding every month. I know that's not a lot, but it's the best I can do right now. I'm obsessed with the money book that inspired all of this: "Smart Cookies Guide to Making More Dough." A fantastic book that made me look at money planning so differently! It actually got me excited about it all, and my next step after sorting out wedding saving is to open up an RRSP (which I should've done a long time ago) and a GIC. And honeymoon saving!

Ultimate locale: The Maldives. Mmmmm...I can dream.

And I'm going to try to stop worrying about work so much and pleasing everyone there. Bottom line? I can't please everyone always. And that's finally ok with me. (For the most part.) And I'm not going to self-edit my ideas or my opinions anymore. Yes. Done.

Our Bon Bon Fundraiser went great last week. We pretty much filled the place, although we had few problems with the lady running the show. She charged us extra because we didn't have an exact number of guests to give her at the beginning, and they made extra food. My question is, how can we know how many people will show?! We can give an approximate number, which we did, but apparently that wasn't good enough. Either way, it's done, and we're $1300 richer! Comp fees, shoes, costumes...it might not last long! As long as we get to the dancing and get a business plan going to get some gigs. And a coworker here has a sister who sings fabulously – her specialty is Christina songs – nice!!! Perfect fit I think!

I promise, more updates. I might have some after this busy weekend. Have fun!
