A new car and officially refinanced!!!

So we have been car shopping for a quite some timne now and we finally found a car we were both happy with and that fit our budget. We found a red 2005 Nissan Altima SL with very low miles (27,000 miles to be exact). It has black vented leather interior and a Bose sound system. Only thing it doesn't have is a navigation system and tinted windows, both of which we can get done through JUstin, Phillip's soon to be brother-in-law. We went to the dealership on Wednesday, July 22nd, signed all the paperwork and drove home in our new car! Sadly, Phillip had to trade in his motorcycle :( It's something we both discussed and agreed that we no longer needed it as we are expecting a baby and it's the mature thing to do.

And on Thursday, July 23rd, we officially signed the refinancing papers for our house. Our new mortgage is almost $300 less than the previous payment that we had, and it also includes our property taxes and home owner's insurance; both of which we were paying out of pocket the beginning of each year. Well, not anymore, as they are both escrowed in! This saves us a ton of money for us to save! Things are definitely looking up and we are both so very excited at all the blessings that have presented themselves to us. I can't stop praising God! He is so good all the time!!!

Also on Saturday, we meet up with a lady who was selling a car seat and stroller on craigslist for less than half the cost of a new one. I looked at it, tried it out, liked it and bought it from this nice lady! Not much left to get after this! I am sooo excited I can hardly contain myself!!!

As always, thanks for checking in and God bless :)
