Debt free and loving it!!!




Out with the new and in with the old! We sold JAWS, our white 2001 one ton power stroke and bought CLIFFORD our 1988 1/2 ton 4x4 pickup truck. There is no rust, only 2 dents in the body, interior is in excellent condition, it has a 302 V8 and a 4 speed manual. We paid $900 for it and sold the one ton the same day. I'm getting ready to start my apprenticeship as an electrician soon so selling the 1 ton helped us drop our expences and be able to put more cash in the stash until I start. I'm happy with my new truck, cuz it's MINE, not the banks. Can anyone guess why it's named Clifford?


Our new dog!!!!




This is our new dog "JACK JACK" aka: Jackson, but NEVER Jackie. We adopted him about 3 weeks ago. He is 18 months old and a purebred beagle. He's pretty funny. When he comes inside he is VERY excited and will run from our room through the living room into the hallway and back as fast as he can for about 5 minutes. Then he's good and calms down. He is getting used to the routine of going for a walk at night, doing his business and then getting on his dog pillow and going to sleep. He LOVES his chew toys, I've decided I will invest in plastic next time so I don't have all the stuffing torn out and laying around the house. He's pretty good company. The other night, Mark went to Utah and I stayed home. I took him for his walk and when we got home he went and layed on his pillow, but I stayed up to work on some crafts. Pretty soon he realized I wasn't in the room with him and so he brought out his pillow and layed on it in the living room to stay with me. Mark is still working with Jack to learn to jump up into the back of Clifford.
