So remember in my last update I said that I'm glad I didn't do monthly updates in 2017 because it would have basically said "I worked and walked the dogs"? Well that is pretty much how February went for me.
Although I don't love my new job (I will never love a restaurant job), between it and Friday's I'm making good money and paying off debt, so I'm going to stick with it. I worked at the hotel for one last weekend because of an event that brings in a lot of people. When my manager asked if I'd be willing to come back for that one event, I totally said yes for selfish reasons - I really wanted to see the Ice Bars!
Paying off debt is going great! We thought we'd get a small tax refund but we actually ended up owing Maryland :( Fortunately between our federal refund and extra savings, we have the money to cover it, it's just a bit of a bummer. We also spent a good bit of money on Josh's ASU's. He has to go to the board next month and needed a new jacket, new rank, a bunch of new medals and a few other odds and ends. Luckily it fell on a good week for me tips wise and we had no issues covering that. This debt free journey has been so helpful when things like this pop up!
It's been surprisingly warm for February here in NY! I've starting working really hard on leash training the dogs since the snow has cleared up. Bolt's husky-ness really shows when it comes to leash training - he is super stubborn and has a mind of his own! I've seen three different trainers and nothing has worked. Belle is hard because she is not treat motivated at all, so I have to stop every 10 seconds and wait for her to come to my side which is also frustrating. I'm not enjoying this at all! But it needs to be done, especially since we plan to do quite a few hikes this summer and would like to take the pups.
I finally started working out again with a home workout program. I started at the end of the month and it's a 30 day program. Hopefully I'll be telling you how great the program was during my next update - fingers crossed.
Other than being on a Harry Potter kick (I've watched the series twice this month), nothing really exciting is going on around here. Hopefully I'll have more to share in March.
