But let me start at the beginning:
Cody and I are very in to budgeting. Hence, my budget blog! We are newlyweds and we have learned a lot about money, what we want our future to be like, and what it will take to get us there! So, we save a lot, and say "no" a lot, and "make do" a lot.
But sometimes, you need things. Not want but neeed. School is winding down and speeding up all at the same time. I originally thought I would be graduating this Summer. Well, it will be extended 1 semester longer, and I will graduate with my Bachelors this December!
BUT, this Summer I am also starting towards my Masters! Scary and thrilling at the same time. Dec 2012 I will have my MBA and be on my way! Done with school forever!
So what does that have to do with yesterday and budgeting and blessings and fun!?
Well, that's where this box comes in to play!
Cody and I went a picked up this baby yesterday. I couldn't wait to get home and open it!
And what did I see when I did?!
A brand spanking new MacBook Pro!!
My 5 year old MacBook was on the last little bit of its life. It was unreliable and I couldn't count on using it for school anymore. BUT! I couldn't justify buying a new one. Sure, I needed one for school. Especially since my graduate classes start this Summer, but we just couldn't fit it into our budget.
So instead, I was blessed with this most generous gift from my Mother-In-Law! I cried.. but who is surprised!? I am so thankful! I don't feel like I deserve such a huge gift but I love it and I will put it to such great use!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!
I still can't believe it!
That is awesome!!!
