I did it

I went yesterday for my orientation for school and signed up for my 2 classes I need to take this semester. I am going back to get my teaching certification. I only need 4 classes before I can student teach. Well really 5 but I got jipped on the 5th one. It is a class I have already taken but it was too long ago for them to count the credit for it, so I have to retake it. But that's how it goes sometimes. I am kinda dreading going back to school again, but I just want to have my own classroom and teach my own students. So I guess I'll have to bite the bullet for a while and do what I need to in order to get where I want to be.
Some other fun news is that we paid off my car last week. It is mine now and I plan to keep it for a while, so the next time we buy a car we can pay cash for it. I don't want to have a car payment ever again. I know that sometimes in life don't always go how you plan, but at least we have a plan and are trying to stick with it. It will be so good to finally be debt free. By the end of this year hopefully we can have everything but the house and my student loan paid off. Plus have our emergency fund where it needs to be. That means no more renovations on the house for a while. But that's ok. It will be nice when we can just hire out the renovations for the house and pay cash for it all right up front.
Well that's all for now, have a good week.
