The Writings on the Wall
We have paid for the RV :) So we have money for our house here in Brisbane saved, the flights, visas, insurance and RV are paid, money for the wedding is in a separate account, and everything else we save is SPENDING MONEY!!!
Its going to be weird, actually having the freedom to spend money, to buy lollies (or candy as its known over there), to eat out, to spend money on something because we like it, not because we need it...after two years of saving everything we can, eating on a budget, using flybuys and frequent flyer points to get movie tickets, working two jobs. I guess that is something we have to get used to. I'm sure it wont be too hard :) The past two years will be worth it though...6 months of no work, of driving, seeing, experiencing...
We have put a road map of America on our wall in the lounge room, along with 3 huge pieces of butcher paper, one with wedding, one with home, one with honeymoon on top. These are our to-do lists. We are currently getting the house and garden into a very presentable shape, in my eyes I want it as good as if I was to be selling the place. We need to buy 6 months of pet food, flea and worm treatment, clean out the freezers, wash curtains, pack up clothes...The yard is weeded, mowed, cleaned up, dump runs with bits and pieces that were lying around...final invites to be sent/handed out (well, currently its only the family who have theirs thanks to family Christmas parties), things paid for, final dress fits (which I'm sure wont be the final ones) for me and the bridesmaids, suits hemmed...at least the honeymoon side of things is nearly done, except for buying Kade a backpack...
24 more work days for me :) not long now...
