Get on a written budget, continue paying down the mortgage aggressively, invest an additional $15K in mutual funds, finish the wet bar in the basement by the end of October, retile the basement bathroom by the end of September, get back into horses by taking riding lessons, organize the garage, and organize the master closet.

- Keep on chugging along on our debt repayment and building a bigger efund - Have fun on my trips planned for the end of the year (Kiawah Half Marathon, potentially NC, and potentially Germany) - Keep improving my running times
Replinish my efund, August was bad. Finish up my emergency prep work, I have a basic bug out bag and one in my car, but they need a few more things to be more complete. Shoot a 425 in archery. Save to go to the Vegas shoot as well as the Nationals in Louisville.
Hanks konapoppy. My first due date was this month unfortunately, and one of my best friends just had her baby boy last week. While happy for her, it's been a roller coaster emotions wise.
In the last year we've purchased a new stove, gone on a few vacations, bought a new fridge, tor out our lawn and re-landscaped, and also bought new computer so my goal is to start replenishing all that money and stop spending. I'm happy we have all that but I hate seeing my balance drop in our account as these things are purchased.
I'm in coast mode at this point. Try to stay on budget for Christmas presents? Try not to gain a stupid amount of weight during the yummy times from Halloween through New Year's?

My goals:
- With my family: continue to work with my son's new therapists and keep an open and positive attitude about the process. Remember that my other child deserves/needs just as much attention and shouldn't be ignored for her difficult younger sibling. - With finances: continue to anticipate large expenses and save for them ahead of time. Finally join Florida Prepaid now that the program has been changed for the better. - With me: start posting here more often
Get pregnant. Rebuild my decimated e-fund. Buy grown up furniture (ie, not garage sale/hand me down/cheapest thing I could find at the moment). All predicated on DH getting a job.

Stay pregnant. Fingers crossed.
Pay off car #2 (December). (0.9% interest rate)
Make a 5 year plan/savings plan for future house. We are upside down on current home, but refi'ed to a 15 yr two years ago, so really knocking it out. Hope to have some equity by then, plus $50k cash.
