Great Birthday!

Sunday, May 23

So I just wanted to share that we have now been in our house for just over 3 years. Well.... when we bought our house, our mortgage loan was a fixed rate for the first 3 years, then changes to a variable. Uh-Oh. We have been wanting to refinance for a while now, but we just haven't. Well, we just got a statement in the mail with our interest rate. As soon as I saw what the letter was, I was like, "oh, crap!" So our new interest is.........drumroll............ 2% lower than what we had! Whoo-Hoo! We are now saving $316 a month as of July 1st! I am way excited, because now we don't need to refinance and we don't have to spend a bunch of money to get the lower interest rate! Whoo-Hoo! A new vehicle in the fall is looking more promising every day now! I thought it was pretty exciting, anyway.

I had a great birthday yesterday! I had to work, but it was really slow and I worked with all fun people, so it wasn't bad at all. Marian brought a slice of cheesecake in to me and she had it decorated quite lavishly with flowers and strawberries and whip cream.... mmmmmm.... it was DELICIOUS!! We have the best cheesecake ever! (okay, so it's the one thing that we don't make and get from Costco...) haha. Friday night, Shawn and I went out to dinner at Olive Garden. My first restaurant experience in over 3 months! Whoop-ieeeee!!! It was quite delicious! In fact, I think I'll have my leftovers for lunch today! Then we went down to legends casino. We played for a long time and had lots of fun! I normally just play the penny and nickel machines, but I tried blackjack this time and it was a blast! I actually did pretty good! At one point, I had doubled my money. Overall, we were there for oever 3 hours and we came out with $21 more than we went in with! I guess that's good.... I was hosping we would have made about $20 more, then we could say we had a free date night. Haha. But it was fun and I want to go again now! :) Last night, my parents came over for cake and ice cream. Ice cream cake! Yummy! I haven't had that in forever! Yay for Dairy Queen!

Well, I am at work again this morning... I should probably get back to work. Especially if I want to try and get out of here early! Anyway, hope you all have a great rest of the weekend... I will write again soon, I'm sure. I have more to write, but should really get back to work....
