Debt Diet Update

Ok so I have finished the budget for June and as of right now we will pay off our 2nd car and start on our last debt.....my student loans. Which we are on target to pay off in 4 months.....then WE ARE DEBT FREE........ It is so exciting to see things getting paid off and the feeling is amazing. This is really how God has intended us to live....free....and part of that freedom is financially. To have the burden lifted of the lingering debt is an amazing Blessing.

It is so true that we as americans in this sinful world tend to want and need what is not essential and as we dig ourselves into a mountain of debt we end up working for years to pay for things that we just had to have 2 years ago. We end up allowing money to rule our lives....we work because we have to make X amount of money to pay the bills. Is this truly the Abundant life that God had inteended for his children? As Andrew and I have gone on this Debt diet we have had a chance to see how we let money rule our lives and taking back control and allowing God to show us how to be free is so amazing. 9 months ago and 30,000 dollars in debt I never thought we would be here....at this point and only be 4 months away from Financial freedom. God is good.....and he continues to do more than we can ever ask or imagine.....

Colorado Trip

Amazing views from the road to Mt. Evans. We couldn't go to the top because it had snowed the day before.

On our way up to Mt. Evans we stopped to take a picture by this amazing river.

About 15 minutes from Littleton is Red Rock. It was amazing and the weather was beautiful. It was 70 during the day and 40 at night......It was a shock to get back yesterday and it was 98 outside.

We also saw ground hogs for the first time. They were all over the place. I think we were the only people taking pictures of them.

They were waiting for us when we got there and had this welcome sign. Just a small touch but it made us feel special. Andrew sat in on 1 class and met with the president....he called him anthony but later found him and apologized. Our time at the seminary was great and we are praying that God will show us where he wants us.

This is the front of the seminary. It was really small but we felt really comfortable.

Trip to Colorado

For those of you who know... this weekend is our big Colorado trip to check out the Seminary. We have a full schedule friday and Andrew is meeting with a couple of amazing Professors who are well known. He is going to sit in on 2 classes and then meet with a financial advisor. Please be praying for us and that God's Will would be shown to us.....

We are going to have a great Saturday......We are going hiking in the rockies, going to a MLB baseball game then out in the city.....

We will post pictures and give you guys an update when we get back......

New Hobby !!

So I have been thinking about starting a new hobby. I have recently been thinking about what it is that I really like to do and nothing really came to mind. Yes, I love spending time with my husband, dogs, friends and God , but I need something for me. Something that I am excited about and love to do that is not the norm like reading or running. So I have decided to save up money and buy a bike.....yes, you heard it....I want to be one of those people that you see on 360 that race past you with there tight spandex on and look more important than they are. I want to be able to ride a bike more than 1 mile and not be winded. I want to get in shape and rock that spandex....I want to make the most of this 1 life that God blesses me with. So after much investigation I have found that Cycling is not a cheap hobby and it will take about 1 month to save up enough money...but I am going to do it....I feel like I have to overcome this nagging feeling that I should be doing more with my time. So I will keep you posted on my new hobby adventure and let you know when I get my bike!!!!!

First Blog

This is the first of many blogs to come in the future. I have been wanting to do this for a long time and decided after reading some of my friends blogs that today is the day. I am getting a little tired of the facebook and myspace profiles....not that they are not fun because I still check mine daily ( I know I am 28...get a life) but they are not true. Pleople post happy pictures of exciting times and often we look through the comments to see who is saying what about who...when in reality it is superficial and not a clear picture of what is really going on with someone. So Andrew and I will be updating this blog often and let you in on the exciting lives of the Hunts. Exciting, Hard, Terrifying, Happy and Honest. Well at least we think it is exciting..... We are in a huge transition time in life right now that is a little overwhelming and may be selling our house and moving to the great unknown soon.

We are on a debt diet and have paid off 14,000 dollars in 4 months and this month we will be paying off our second car....Dave Ramsey is awesome.....that leaves my student loans and our house.....we will keep you posted on where we are with that as well....and for those of you that want to live debt free....It can happen trust me...we are well on our way.
