Well, we have been really busy since I last visited my blog. Leigh built a shed from a kit. $300.00 for the shed and $100 for the floor. Four days of hard labor and we finally got it together. We have a garage but we had so much stuff in that RV there was hardly room for it so we got this shed.
But after all we went through to get it up. I think we should have just kept the darn garage stuffed. Well, anyhow, $400 and 4 days labor this shed is up. The fun we had putting it up and still staying married is priceless.
The yard work is coming along also. We planted more flower bulbs today and the tree landscaper came today. We paid $120.00 to get the front trees trimmed and he is coming tomorrow to do the back ones. God only knows how much that will be. Between the trees and the lawn fertilizer we are spending a lot more money then we intended on a rented house. Our greatest fear is we spend all this money grooming the place and they will sell the house out from under us and we will be out all this money. I am just putting it all in God's hands that won't happen.
Now for some exciting news. We are going on a cruise. I figured if we are blowing our savings we might as well blow it on something fun. I wanted to go in February for my birthday but it cost so much more then. By going now we get a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas for $525.00 for the both of us and we will have to pay some extras so it will probably end up being around $700.00.
After that we are tightening out belts and I may get a job so we can try to put some money back into our savings because this move to Florida has really done a number on the savings and it is really low after this trip. But a cruise was on my bucket list so we are going. I am not getting any younger and neither is Leigh. Well, that is about all that is happening here. Hopefully I will have some great pictures of our cruise to post next time. Just wanted you all to know we are alive and well in Florida.
