If it isn't taxes...

...something else is bound to drain our bank account! We were excited that this is the first time since we've been married (almost 5 years now - go us!) that we haven't actually owed money to the government. The numbers are tricky with a ministry income and we had a big change since we bought a house in 2008, so we decided to get a little assistance filing our taxes this year. Nancy was such a help in making sure we received all the deductions possible and even showed us some errors on David's W-2 form. Now instead of forking over a huge wad of cash come April 15th, we are going to get a small amount back!

Sadly, this good news is a bit shadowed by the fact that the engine in our Ford Escort Wagon clunked out and we have to shell out well over $1000 to have it replaced. Silly car, you're supposed to be reliable!




At least the money is going to support our local economy rather than Uncle Sam...
