One year ago we put our minds on a mission to save money in order to buy the riverbank and I'm happy to say that we accomplished a goal that 18 months ago we thought we could only dream of accomplishing (like how we all dream of winning the lottery). We set a goal in May of 2014 that we were going to put ourselves on a budget and we were going to see if we could save enough to buy the riverbank!! This image is one I printed and posted on my work computer as the every day reminder that we were on a budget!! The post stated "June 1st starts a new budget and this is our motivation."
It's now June 12th, just a little over one year and I'm happy to say we got to break the news to the girls today that we signed our lives away to own the riverbank! Kiersten's expression is the best! Although George and I have been budgeting, Kiersten has also been learning what being in a budget is like! The best comment of the year from Kiersten was "I really want redbox movie tonight... But I'm not going to ask so we can put that money towards the river!"
