We just had a three day weekend! It was so nice!! Jenny left to CA Saturday, and I miss Bailey more then anything! Saturday night a few of us from work went over to my supervisors house and hung out, we had a lot of fun! Monday me and Tiff went looking at cars for me, just to see what kind of car I wanted and see prices and stuff. Well I want a nissan altima so bad! That's what Tiff has, so we checked it out and ended up talking to a salesman. I was just interested in what my credit was like, and if I was even able to get into a car. Well turns out that I'm not able to HAHA! Sad but good that I wasn't able to yesterday or who knows maybe I would have had a new car and been screwed because of my credit. Well the only thing I have on my credit is a discover card that had gone delinquent. Well after talking to my other roommate Dave, he was saying it doesn't make sense to try to build your credit on bad credit. Why not pay off your discover card, and start building it before you look at new cars... Something me and Tiff didn't even think about before we went looking. Well I had about $1000 in the bank I could have put down on a car, so I called discover card today and FINALLY just paid it off!!! It is such a good feeling!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been since 2002 I've been trying to pay that thing down. And it wasn't even as high as I thought it was! The funny part is, after telling a few people at work how excited I was to pay if off my phone rang, I answered it and it was discover card because my payment was due on the 14th. It was such a good feeling telling them "Oh I just paid it off!" Anyway all the people in my family should know how excited I am about it, I would think ESPECIALLY my dad who is always reminding me about it. So it looks like it's time to start building my credit so I can get a car on my own, with my credit and hopefully no help from anyone else.
Tomorrow we're having an elite retreat... it's something my department does where we take a day off and go do something as a department and also get "trained" on something new. I'm pretty sure we're going snow shoeing. I'm pretty over the winter right now and wasn't too excited about it, but I've never been and it will be a new experience for me. So I'm not hating the idea anymore. I'm a little excited to see what it will be like.

Lisa! You are getting soooo grown up! It is so funny, I just picked up the mail and there was the bill from DC, and, yep it was due. I can only imagine how good it must feel to be able to say that it is finally all behind you. I remember when you and I started working on those couple of creditors that were being sooo mean to you. You worked hard to get to where you are and I am so glad to know you did it! I knew you could. Remember when we talked about you not just writing this off but agreeing to pay? Well, I think you did a great job! You have done something that a lot of people haven't been able to do. You paid it off!
I love you so much!
Dad
