PAID IN FULL!!!

Pardon me as I feel compelled to pause and boast as

today at 1:00 PM we became 100% DEBT FREE...including the house!!!

After three years of working Dave Ramsey's plan we finally made it.

Dave's 13 week Financial Peace University course cost us $100 dollars and that's the smartest fun coupon we ever spent.

We cannot thank you enough, Mr. Ramsey for helping us change our lives,

now we hope to help and encourage others to do the same.

All prepared and ready to hit the enter button for our last on-line payment.

That's a count-down calendar there at the bottom of the photo.
Our friends gave us this preset digital calendar, many months ago,
when we shared with them that May 25th was to be our BIG day.

And to make today even more special, these same awesomely supportive friends, gave us the above celebration gift. They remembered and tracked the day. Can you believe it? They even snapped a photo of our home whilst we were away at work one day, stamped it "PAID IN FULL" and here it is! 

(Now those are the kind of friends to cherish.)

Little Bug gave us this cute card with a very special message written inside.
I suspect she might be excited at the prospect of not having
 to take care of us when we grow old.

We are so grateful to everyone that supported our weirdness through the last several years
we are also so grateful to be born in countries where this dream can become a reality.

We are truly fortunate!

Awwwww...sweet, sweet freedom!
