1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on utilities; $51 for electric and $15 for Internet.
2. Today I feel excited about my money. I am putting down the ceremony & reception venue payment today! Not just the deposit but the full amount. It’s exciting that everything is coming together. :)
3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free/inexpensive thing I did last week that made me happy was register for wedding gifts. It was the best five-hour shopping spree I’ve ever been on.
4. I will consider this week a success if I figure out an outfit to wear to a wedding I am attending this upcoming weekend. I have the dress, just need to find the cardigan and the shoes.
5. My favorite room in a house is the sunroom. Growing up, my family always had homes with a sunroom and it is always been a place of sunshine, comfort and happiness. In fact, I’ve found a few apartments that have a sunroom! Perhaps a little out of my price range, but one day I hope to have one. ;)

Maybe you’ve answered this before but I’m curious how is your utility bill only 51.00 and your internet only 15?
Thanks!
Jessica
@Jessica: I share all utilities with my roommate, so we found $30 a month Internet, just high-speed wireless, and our energy bill was originally $102 for running the AC and electricity, which is actually a little higher than normal.
Wow! How is that possible? It’s just my husband and I and ours is seriously high. It seems to be high no matter what unless it’s winter and then we try to avoid the heat at all. Thanks for the reply!
