Our trip..

Got pushed up, which in reality is better, but I hate when things don't go as planned. (What's new though right?! We are military.) We were suppose to drive there Saturday and Sunday, but we got a phone call saying his Great Grandma's party (90-something birthday) is on Sunday. Awesome. The whole point of us going up there is for this party. So we were planning to just leave after I got off work on Friday at 1730, but luckily we got Friday off so we can leave tomorrow, drive 1000 miles tomorrow and then the other 600 on Saturday. Eric getting an extra day off is just a plus, me on the other hand it sucks. The hours I don't work are the hours I don't get paid for, which we definitely need all the money we can get (but who doesn't!?).

Another thing is we weren't even going to be going because with having to get the Edge (okay well we didn't have to, but we did need a new car.) we used the money we had put away for this trip (plus some) for the down payment, but his mom insisted that we were going and it didn't matter if they had to pay for it. We fought her on it and finally there was no winning. I hate this. I hate feeling like we are now in their debt. This is going to sound extremely selfish, since of course they didn't have to give us money, but they barely gave us anything. I understand I should be grateful, and trust me I am, but we were okay with not going and seeing them when Eric got back from his deployment. She was talking to Eric last night and asked how much it should be to get up there and he told her what we figured out (because the Edge doesn't get nearly as good gas mileage) and she gave us quite a bit less than that. So now it's going to be a TIGHT trip. I hate that. This is suppose to be a semi-vacation. We were also trying to save a little so we could go on a small (3 or 4 day) cruise before he left, and now that definitely isn't going to happen. Okay.. I think I'm done being a beebee. Lol :)

I'll update more on work later.. It's getting insane!
