I'm baaaack!

Wow! It's been FOREVER since I posted. Well, brief update: I got married, moved to Northern VA, got a job working on "the Hill," learned how to navigate the public transportation system, bought a dog, and am in the process of buying a brand spanking new townhouse (ground breaking is next week or so).

I decided to get back to blogging because I've committed myself to a "no-shopping" binge until we move. Ironic that my last post before my unintended hiatus was about laying off the shopping. Guess old habits die hard?

I am proud to say that the reason I'm laying off shopping this time is space related and plain old self-discipline! (okay, and a little bit of items that need to be paid). The hubby and I have been doing AWESOME with our finances. When we first got married, we committed to saving his paycheck and living off mine (and saving as much as we can from mine). It was amazing how quickly our money started adding up. When we get ready to move, we should have a nice nest egg saved up (not counting the cash needed for closing costs and the down payment). I'm so proud of me and my honey!

Speaking of my honey, can you believe we are approaching our first year anniversary! My, my, my, time flies. Well, now that I'm not so "independent," I may just have to change the name of my blog... Hmm... I'll ponder on that some.

Smooches!
